How mechanical cues shape plant development
Cells can sense intrinsic mechanical perturbations as well as those coming from the environment, and are able to convert these into intracellular... -
How plants feel the force
In this project, we will decipher the plant mechanostat by establishing the quantitative connections between mechanical stress and gene expression. We... -
Hacking ARF DNA-binding
The phytohormone auxin controls numerous plant growth and developmental processes, including many traits of agronomic importance in crops. Thus,... -
The establishment and roles of polarity in plant development
Polarity is a fundamental aspect of development of all multicellular organisms. It plays an important role in directional cell division, the process... -
Proteomic analysis of plant cell polarity
Living organisms require directional information for proper organ formation. In plants, cell polarity is yet not well studied, with only several known... -
The plant compass: functions of SOSEKI proteins
SOSEKI proteins are a novel family of conserved polar proteins. These proteins share a unique ability to localize to one specific corner of the plant...
