They’re so acidic
Who? Root cells. At least that’s what an apoplastic pH sensor told us. Nicholay’s conclusion from mapping the correlations between apoplastic pH, cell elongation and cell differentiation: cell wall pH …

It’s a balancing act
Paradoxes lingering around our lab ever since we started working on CLE peptide signaling finally resolved, at least genetically. Is CLE signaling always detrimental to phloem formation and differentiation? Or …

Secrets of a gene body – now published after peer review
Years of scientific detective work finally revealed the basis for the non-cell-autonomous effects of brassinosteroid signaling previously suspected by us and others. Our verdict: most likely they don’t exist. Rather, …

The “ground truth” of brassinosteroid signaling
Our paper “A single-cell morpho-transcriptomic map of brassinosteroid action in the Arabidopsis root” is available in its final, typeset version online now. The datasets demonstrate that brassinosteroid signaling is essential …

Brachypodium continues to surprise.
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.

6 years in the making.
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 …
