IPB Press Release, September 3, 2026 A great success for plant research at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB) in Halle: The independent junior research group leader Mariana Schuster has been awarded a highly funded ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council for her FRONTERA project. Over a period of five years and with funding of 1.5 million euros, she and her team will investigate how the targeted cleavage of membrane proteins regulates the immune defense of plants.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

A study recently published in Nature Plants marks a paradigm shift that the primary role of PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION 5 is not to boost ATP production but to safeguard photosynthesis through ΔpH-depe...

A fluorescent ATP biosensor reveals that chloroplast ATP levels remain unchanged in Arabidopsis mutants with a much weaker proton gradient, showing that cyclic electron transport protects photosynthes...

An optimized means for utilizing BONCAT protein labeling in plants to uncover protein production and degradation responses.

Trehalose 6-phoshpate (Tre6P) consistently regulates root growth, with high Tre6P inhibiting and low Tre6P promoting primary and lateral root growth. It does so by altering the accumulation and alloc...

The TPJ Fellowship scheme was first launched in 2020, and we are pleased to announce that we have now opened applications for the 2026 TPJ Fellowship scheme.

Using cryo-electron tomography, the authors reveal how plasmodesmata (plant cytoplasmic bridges) are gated by cell wall remodelling and how helical protein assemblies scaffold internal membranes, with...

Loss of chloroplast iron (Fe) ferritin storage leads to Fe re-shuttling into the vacuole and reduced leaf tissue Fe content.

Mitochondrial formate dehydrogenase regulates the metabolic flux within the one-carbon shunt to connect cytosolic and mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism.

Quantitative microscopy imaging holds transformative potential in plant sciences by uncovering structural and functional principles at unprecedented spatial and temporal scale revealing how plants adapt their growth and physiology to environmental changes. Despite its promise...

Abstract. Since their discovery as rubisco-containing compartments more than 50 years ago, significant breakthroughs have advanced our understanding of car

Plants encounter high temperatures concomitantly with intense sunlight during the daytime. Here, the authors reveal a concerted chloroplast and nucleus high-temperature signaling framework that gates ...
