Finally out: meticulous work by Moritz and Surbhi, demonstrating the local and systemic effects of brassinosteroid perception in the developing phloem of Arabidopsis.
Developing phloem as a brassinosteroid-dependent organizer of plant organ formation Read More
Our latest study in the developmental cell biology of phloem sieve element differentiation is out now! Maybe the experimentally most elaborate paper we have published to date, in Developmental Cell. …

A first chapter of Alja’s Ph.D. thesis: “Broad spectrum developmental role of Brachypodium AUX1”. And some counter-intuitive phenotypes in the Bdaux1 mutant, like surprisingly long roots.
Brachypodium continues to surprise. Read MoreGymnosperms, angiosperms, sieve cells, sieve elements….what the heck? No more confusion, as of 2018, every lab member has to learn this 2nd splendid proto-limerick by heart, in addition to the “Ode to …
“Sieve of hearts” – the follow up to the “Ode to the tracheary elements” unearthed. Read More
The culmination of persistent, patient, phantastic collaboration with the labs of Claus Schwechheimer and Uli Hammes at the Technical University of Munich. It allowed us to pin down the nearly …
