PhD Student Denise Seitner Wins University of Vienna Inforgraphic Competition
To increase awareness of the importance of science communication and foster these skills in early researchers, the University of Vienna held a competition among PhDs and Postdocs to design an infographic explaining their work. PhD student Denise…
3 Year Postdoc Fellowships through the Vienna International Postdoctoral Program
The Vienna BioCenter is one of Europe’s leading life science research centres. Here four research institutes, including the GMI, share a common vision in supporting fundamental science and in training scientists at the highest level. The Vienna…
Arabidopsis immune system is triggered by small bacterial fatty acids
Like humans and animals, plants defend themselves against pathogens with the help of their immune system. But how do they activate their cellular defenses? Youssef Belkhadir's lab at the GMI studies cell-surface receptor kinases, which plants use to…
Biogenesis of a microbial peptide and its interaction with a rice immune receptor
The plant immune system uses specialized proteins called receptor kinases to detect and respond to microbial pathogens. In new work published in PNAS, an international team led by Pamela Ronald at UC Davis that included Youssef Belkhadir and PhD…
The evolution of sperm started with a single molecular change
How new cell types evolve remains a major question in biology. Across multi-cellular organisms, reproduction generally occurs via small, motile sperm that fertilize large immotile eggs. However, the widely varied morphologies of sperm makes one…
nanoPARE: Parallel analysis of RNA 5′ ends from low-input RNA
In a recent publication in Genome Research, PhD and Master Students from the Nodine lab report a novel next-generation sequencing based method for the identification of RNA 5' ends from single-cell levels of RNA, at least 10,000 fold less than…
Sequencing the Aquilegia genome uncovers one chromosome evolving differently than the rest
Aquilegia is a plant with strikingly beautiful flowers with around 70 species extending across the Northern Hemisphere, four of which are found in Austria. This diversity is driven by a process called adaptive radiation, whereby new species arise…
Are you excited about doing a PhD in Plant Science? Then apply now to the Vienna BioCenter (VBC) PhD Programme and join the Gregor Mendel Institute! At the VBC you will find the support you need to develop a PhD project in a competitive area and…
Network biology reveals pathogen targets in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana
How are proteins in the cells of a flowering plant similar to social networks on Twitter or Facebook? And how might both of those be related to the way pathogens make plants or people sick?
Fascination of Plants Day 2018 at the Vienna Open Lab and GMI
As part of the international Fascination of Plants Day, the GMI once again teamed up with the Vienna Open Lab to offer a two hour program to school classes to introduce them to the fascinating world of plants.
