Understanding the role of gene duplications in cereals using CRISPR
Targeted mutagenesis is a important part in our research to unravel the role of key regulatory genes in plant development. Within this project, we will CRISPR-Cas in barley on key developmental genes to understand their role in sh ...

SCHIZORIZA: tissues with multiple personalities
Asymmetric cell division is a fundamental and universal mechanism for generating diversity and pattern in multicellular organisms. SCHIZORIZA (SCZ), a transcriptional co-factor controls the separation of cell fate in a set of stem ...

CRISPR-Cas in plant development
Recent advances with the RNA-mediated CRISPR-Cas systems have dramatically transformed our ability to specifically modify intact genomes of diverse cells and organisms. The CRISPR–Cas system has proven to be an efficient, simple,  ...

Stem cell maintenance in the Arabidopsis root
All tissues are ultimately generates by the activity of stem cells. In the root of the model plant Arabidopsis a group of stem cells surround a mitotically inactive organizer, named Quiescent Center (QC). Both the activities of th ...

Unravelling genetic networks that control tiller and spike development in barley
Cereals such as barley and wheat are important crop species for food and feed supply. Cereal crop yield depends on traits such as the number of seeds per spike, the number side shoots (tillers) and the seed weight. These traits ar ...

Regeneration genes
Introduction of transgenes in plants has been a force in molecular biology and biotechnology for decades. Agrobacterium tumefaciens is generally used as a vehicle to introduce genetic material in the plant cell. Unfortunately, not ...

Role of Ubiquitin Proteasome System in Gamete Interaction.
Protein ubiquitination is one mode of post-translational modification mechanism essential in several biological processes. It involves covalent attachments of ubiquitin to the lysine residue of a substrate through ubiquitin protea ...
