Celebrating the successful PhD defense of Dr Jie Shen! Thank you 🙏 to the second and third examiners @schwarzland_lab and @shuqing_xu and many congratulations, Jie !! 👏🍾 very much looking forward to seeing your amazing work published. Stay tuned! @IFink_lab @uni_muenster

We are deeply saddened by the news that Andrew D. Hanson (@adhansonlab.bsky.social) is no longer with us. He was an exceptional scientist, mentor, and leader in multiple fields. He constantly reminded us that over-promising would backfire. Rest in peace, Andrew.

Thrilled to share our latest short technical paper in PCP! We propose an alternative leaf-level gas exchange measurement method with petiole-cut leaves and whole plant chamber, enabling the measurements even with the small Arabidopsis plants.🌱 track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=...

other community members e.g., studying proteostasis, protein quality mechanism, and retrograde signaling. We hope you enjoy reading our preprint. Thank you.

we find evidence that mistranslation in wild-type plants varies under stress conditions. This suggests that optimization of protein synthesis may improve plant stress tolerance. Moreover, the initial discovery of a hypermistranslating Arabidopsis mutant will benefit

mistranslation was unknown. We isolated a Q➡️E hypermistranslating Arabidopsis mutant and show that plant cells are highly tolerant towards Q➡️E mistranslation in mitochondrial- and plastid-expressed proteins and even incorporate Q➡️E altered peptides into the photosynthetic machinery. Interestingly,

that gene expression works close to perfection, especially protein synthesis is a messy business. Bacteria use protein mistranslation since increased proteome plasticity can aid survival under stress conditions. The relationship of plant cells and their bacterial-type organelles towards protein

Please read here the summary of our news on DOG1 and its signaling pathway via AHG1 and AFPs in Arabidopsis 🌱seeds. www.uni-muenster.de/news/view.ph... @uni-muenster.de #seeds #plants @seedbarrett.bsky.social @ifink-lab.bsky.social

DOG1 controls dormancy independently of ABA core signaling kinases regulation by preventing AFP dephosphorylation through AHG1 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #plantscience #phospho #proteomics

Our labrodog also highly recommends reading about DOG1 because it’s important for seed storage, agriculture and our food! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #plantscience #seeds

Our manuscript on the DOG1 dormancy pathway is out! 🥳 It started with a phosphoproteome when working @mpipz.bsky.social and 10 years of hard work @uni-muenster.de from Guillaume Nee with Thorben Krüger and more to prove that AFPs are target! #proteomics #seed www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We propose that the molecular separation of the DOG1-PP2C module from the regulation of SnRK2 activity keeps seed ABA signaling primed independently of the dormancy level. This allows non-dormant seeds to quickly reinduce ABA responses and arrest germination upon sensing stress.

Very happy that our story on dormancy control by DOG1-PP2C is now published in Science Advances. We found that DOG1 prevents the activation of AFPs by AHG1. This is the result of a great team effort led by Guillaume Née. Summary of key findings below🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @science.org

Today we celebrate a wide diversity in plant sciences at the Symposium of our institute at @unicologne.bsky.social with support from @ceplas.bsky.social & @trr341.bsky.social #PlantScience

INPPO 2025 would like welcome aboard Sponsors @preomics (Preomics) and @cytiva.bsky.social (Cytiva) !! Deadline for early registration ends Feb 15th 2025 !! See you in Banff!

Please read here about our collaborative work with Ag Kudla @uni-muenster.de on the phosphocode of these two Calcium-dependent kinases. With the power of MS-based functional #proteomics www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A team headed by biologist Prof Jörg Kudla has identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism. A calcium-activated “bi-kinase module” serves as a central molecular switch. #Biology

Finally out! Delighted to share our latest paper investigating the PM H+-ATPase activation-driven transcriptome changes in green seedlings, which comes from third chapter of my PhD thesis. Hope you also will find something interesting 😄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Today, the program of the famous conference ▶️Molecular Biology of Plants #MBP2025 is online. It will take place 📍 in Hennef, Germany 📅 10-13 February 2025 Including information on talks, posters, sporting resources, and venue www.pflanzen-molekularbiologie.de/en/conferenc...

Please take a look and circulate this PhD training opportunity with Rainer Waadt @unimuenster.bsky.social

A big thank you to @ifink-lab.bsky.social for the excellent organization of the 'Co- and Post-Translational Control in Chloroplasts' symposium in Münster. Looking forward to the second edition!

Thank you to all speakers, presenters and the lively discussion at our Strasburger workshop ‚Co- and posttranslational control in chloroplasts‘ @uni-muenster #PTMs #chlorocontrol
