Our research focuses on the biogenesis and operation of chloroplasts (and other plastids) in plants. Particular areas of interest are the import into chloroplasts of nucleus-encoded proteins by TOC and TIC, and ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis via CHLORAD.

Check out our new paper in @cp-trendsplantsci.bsky.social "Ubiquitin signalling redefines nutrient trade-offs in crops". Engineered E3 ligases rebalance root-shoot growth and pair cold tolerance with better phosphate uptake, a new route to climate-resilient crop breeding. 📄: doi.org/10.1016/j.tp...

Assembly of two functionally-distinct protein import complexes in the outer membrane of plant chloroplasts - Nature Communications

Chloroplasts import thousands of nucleus-encoded proteins via multiprotein translocons. The authors elucidate the assembly and molecular architecture of the outer-membrane TOC translocon (the import “...
