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 mechanistic basis for how the hormone salicylic acid promotes transcriptional activation during plant immune responses is described.

Pathogens target and degrade the extracellular matrix surrounding plant cells. A central question is how cell wall-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are recognized and integrated to...

Chez les plantes à fleurs, la formation d’une graine repose sur le développement coordonné de l’embryon et du tissu qui l’entoure et le nourrit. Dans une étude publiée dans Science des scientifiques…

Angiosperm seed formation requires the coordinated development of the products of double fertilization—the embryo and the endosperm. The endosperm mediates efficient nutrient transfer from surrounding...

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.

Animal cells extensively remodel their cytoskeleton during differentiation and can notably switch between two major motility modes: flagellum-based swimming and actin-based crawling. We previously sho...

Engineer @ Nöllmann lab (CBS) & MARS imaging facility. Strong interest in microscopy and data analysis.

Multicellular development is tightly coupled to the polarization of individual cells, which partitions polar proteins along the cell cortex and can control asymmetric cell division, anisotropic growth...

Nemec-Venza et al. show how mechanical signals, such as tissue tension, can activate gene expression in epidermal cells at the surface of Arabidopsis roots. The expression of the edge-specific growth ...

Characterization of periclinal and anticlinal cell divisions in dividing cambium stem cells (CSCs). (a) Scheme indicating periclinal and anticlinal cell divisions in CSCs in the Arabidopsis hypocotyl...

Evidence is presented that crown gall tumors are caused by the incorporation of part of a virulence plasmid carried by the inciting bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The rate of reassociation of l...

Le Conseil européen de la recherche a annoncé ce jour la liste des lauréats des bourses ERC Advanced Grant, récompensant des scientifiques confirmés p

The molecular mechanisms that produce cell structure are poorly understood. The giant ciliate Stentor coeruleus is a unicellular model organism who...
