The P. infestans RXLR effector AVR2 interacts with BSU1-like phosphatases, which are known to positive regulators of Brassinosteroid signaling. I have used a combination of biochemical, molecular biology and reverse genetic ...

Die basale Pflanzenimmunität wird unter anderem durch Rezeptoren (Pattern recognition receptors (PRR)) vermittelt, welche die molekularen Muster bestimmter Gefahrensignale von Pathogenen erkennen. Nach der Perzeption dieser ...

Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate many aspects of plant development including hormone responses, floral development and phyllotaxy. Mature miRNAs associate with ARGONAUTE (AGO) proteins to bind and regulate target mRNAs. ...

Light is of utmost importance for the plant life cycle since it serves as energy source and trigger for plant development. Dark-grown seedlings exhibit closed and pale cotyledons, an apical hook, enlarged hypocotyls and ...

Pflanzen besitzen Immunrezeptoren, sogenannte pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), über die molekulare Muster von Pathogenen erkannt werden (pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)). Durch die Erkennung von Pathogenen ...

Early-onset torsion dystonia is an autosomal-dominant movement disorder with disease onset in early childhood that manifests in sustained involuntary muscle contractions, often resulting in twisted or distorted postures ...

The Slit-Robo GTPase activating protein family (srGAPs) consists of four members and are important multi-domain adaptor proteins, which are involved in axonal pathfinding and various other neuronal processes. This thesis ...
