The 26S proteasome is essential for proteostasis and constitutes one of the most conserved molecular machineries in eukaryotes. Its homeostasis is maintained by a mechanistically conserved feedback lo...

Der FWF vergibt 18 FWF-ASTRA-Preise an herausragende Postdocs. Die mit jeweils rund einer Million Euro dotierten Förderungen stärken Spitzenforschung und helfen, internationale Talente für den Forschu...

This study reveals that enhanced autophagy in root-hair-forming cells helps Arabidopsis store excess sodium, control oxidative stress and tolerate salt stress.

Bacteria deactivate the protein synthesis of host cells to hamper immune reactions. This insight could aid in the development of more resistant plants.

The evolutionary diversification of an exocyst subunit was enabled by electrostatic shifts leading to its dissociation from the ancestral complex.

A suite of nontoxic and permeable CarboTag probes in various colors enables live quantitative imaging of a range of plant cell wall characteristics and dynamic, high-resolution mapping of cell wall ch...
