Happy to announce that I have started my own research group at the MPIPZ and that I am looking for a postdoc who would like to investigate Marchantia prothallus development with me! Please spread the word and/or apply if interested :)

We discovered that light and an apical auxin minimum are required for development of the first flat body structure (the prothallus) and positioning of the first meristem in Marchantia sporelings - now preprinted:

Our study on the effect of strigolactone signaling on vessel formation and water usage is now peer reviewed: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Great achievement of Jiao Zhao, Dongbo Shi, Kiara Kaeufer, and everybody involved!

nature.comStrigolactones optimise plant water usage by modulating vessel formation - Nature CommunicationsVessel elements arise from cambium stem cells and support plant growth by supplying water and nutrients. This study reveals that strigolactone signalling inhibits vessel formation in response to droug...
