Michael Nodine's Spike-In technology nominated for a Houska Prize
The Houska Prize, awarded annually by the B&C Foundation, is Austria's largest private award for applied research. Together with 4 other projects in the higher education category, Michael was nominated for his development of the sRNA Spike-Ins. The…
The fellowship will fund her PhD studies with Claude Becker, where she seeks to unravel the molecular and genetic mechanisms of the innate weed suppression capacity of rice.
Analysis of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha genome reveals an unexpected link between the regulation of transposons and genes regulating development in plants and animals.
The new work from an international team led by Frédéric Berger and his PhD Student Sean Montgomery at the Gregor Mendel Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and by Chang Liu at the ZMBP at the University of Tuebingen was published today in…
MicroRNA dynamics and functions during Arabidopsis embryogenesis
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short regulatory molecules that repress mRNAs, regulating development in both plants and animals. Students from the Nodine lab used high-throughput sequencing methods to profile miRNAs and their target mRNAs from developing…
One year after the ECJ ruling on genome editing: Scientists call on EU politicians to amend legislation to secure our food supply and promote sustainable agriculture.
A public statement by numerous European institutes calls for the amendment of the EU's almost 20-year-old GMO legislation
Gene identified that will help develop plants to fight climate change
Plants with deep, robust roots can store more carbon underground for longer periods of time, reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. However, the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate remain largely unknown. The lab of Wolfgang Busch,…
Scientists discover a novel perception mechanism regulating important plant processes
An international research team has revealed a novel mechanism for the perception of endogenous peptides by a plant receptor. The discovery of this activation mechanism sets a new paradigm for how plants react to internal and external cues.
Youssef Belkhadir receives the Science Award Weihenstephan of the City of Freising
Youssef received the award on Monday evening together with Corinna Dawid from the TUM School of Life Sciences Weihenstephan for their recently published work describing how the plant immune system is able to recognize bacterial small fatty acids and…
