Molecular mechanisms regulating yield and yield stability in plants

[SFB 924 @SFB_924]

A PhD position on kinase regulation of auxin transport is available in the group of @ClausSchwech - to apply contact him directly!

We use controlled walk-in chambers at TUM𝑚𝑒𝑠𝑎 to mimic the actual environmental conditions of natural habitats of 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑢𝑚 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒 to study response after infections with a pathogen.

Ever wondered how does a wild tomato species respond to the notorious pathogen which was responsible for the great famine in the 19th century? To find it out check our recent preprint from the @EvoMPMI group.

@JohnInnesCentre Interested in #EvoMPMI? A post doc position exploring plant-pathogen interactions across phylogenetically-distant land plants is now available in my group @JohnInnesCentre. Closes March 24th! Contact and apply 🤓

Here Louisa from @EvoMPMI group working with @LiMarce21 is taking samples for detached leaf infection assays from 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑢𝑚 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒, maintained in the greenhouse, to understand disease resistance against 𝐴𝑙𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎 𝑎𝑙𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑎

A postdoc position is available in the lab of Dr. John Z. Kiss in the Department of Biology at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. The lab focuses on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of gravitropism and phototropism. More info: https://t.co/HwhcMVpJOi

This week we will take you on a journey into the wild! In the @EvoMPMI group, we study the diversity and evolution of molecular plant-microbe interactions.

in the picture, you see 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑢𝑚 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒, the model plant system we use in our studies.

The potential interaction of 2 proteins is being analyzed by FRET-FLIM to possibly identify new proteins acting in phytohormone signalling pathways.

#OldbutGold ! With this HPLC we are able to purify or analyze specific substances in our samples.

Here we are infiltrating tobacco leaves with agrobacteria for the transient expression of fluorescent proteins for further interaction studies.

[SFB 924 @SFB_924]

This week we will give you an inside on the chair of botany at @TU_Muenchen where we are mostly interested in phytohormone signalling pathways!

Stay tuned!

Open PhD position!
Interested in how morphogenesis translates genotype into shape? We are looking for a scientist with a strong interest working at the interface of plant cell/dev genetics, microscopy, 3D computer visualization, and modeling.

@ATrutzenberg images fluorescent barley proteins. In the @HuckelhovenR lab we study the interaction and localization of susceptibility related proteins with techniques like confocal microscopy and FRET-FLIM.

In the @hueckelhovenR lab we elucidate molecular mechanisms of barley susceptibility by biolistic bombardment. Here, our master student Clara prepares young barley leaves for transformation with the gene gun (right)

Amazing images and videos in today’s seminar! Thanks to our guest @Vermeer_Lab for your insights into lateral root development and an engaging discussion!

Battle field under the microscope: our favorite plant-fungus interaction works in a cell-autonomous manner. Highlighted in red: spores that weren’t allowed to enter, green: successful infection of barley epidermis cells.
