Two publications in Science reveal new paradigms for receptor kinase signaling
In two publications in the latest issue of Science, the group of Youssef Belkhadir from the Gregor Mendel Institute of Molecular Plant Biology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, along with international collaborators, have worked out the molecular…
Extensive variation revealed in 1001 genomes and epigenomes of Arabidopsis
An international team of scientists has sequenced the whole genomes and epigenomes of more than 1,000 Arabidopsis thaliana plants, sampled from geographically diverse locations.
FBi: Vienna Biocenter’s new microscopy technology investigates non-invasively what happens inside a cell
A new microscopy technique, named FBi (Fluorescence emission Brillouin scattering imaging) by its inventors, has been developed at the Vienna Biocenter in Austria and used to for the first time to non-invasively investigate and map in 3 dimensions…
1,135 Genomes Reveal the Global Pattern of Polymorphism in Arabidopsis thaliana
Today, in a ground-breaking study, an international consortium spearheaded by Magnus Nordborg at the ÖAW’s Gregor Mendel Institute of Plant Molecular Biology in Vienna,and Detlef Weigel at the Max-Planck Institute of Developmental Biology in…
DNA Methylation in Arabidopsis shows evidence of local adaptation
In a new paper in eLife, researchers from the lab of Magnus Nordborg provide the first direct evidence between adaptation to the local environment and DNA methylation. Combining Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and analysis of methylation…
New role for Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) quality control in cells
In a new Cell Host & Microbe publication, Jiradet Gloggnitzer and colleagues from the Karel Riha Group at the GMI reveal how Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) contributes to innate immunity in Arabidopsis by controlling the turnover of numerous TIR…
Novel RDdM function specific for early growth of shoot apical meristems uncovered
Former GMI members from the Mittelsten Scheid group describe a new RdDM function which reinforces silencing of transposable elements in shoot apical meristems during early growth. Tuncay Baubec, now at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical…
New mechanism of transposon activation discovered in plants
Vanja Cavrak and other members of the Mittelsten Scheid group at the GMI have discovered how a transposon applies a “wolf in sheep´s clothing” strategy to gain an advantage over its plant host. Transposons are among the most reduced or simplified…
New root development regulator identified by Wolfgang Busch
In a just published Nature Genetics paper, Wolfgang Busch and his research group at the Gregor Mendel Institute use genome-wide association studies on cellular traits to identify and characterize a new regulator of root development in Arabidopsis.
Role of chromatin remodeling complex SWR1 in meiosis and DNA repair
Newly published in Plant Cell, this paper from the Mittelsten Scheid Lab examines the role of the chromatin remodeling complex SWR1, which deposits histone H2A.Z. Multiple independent mutants affecting SWR1 complex subunits accumulate DNA damage, and…
