Our members and PIs also excel in their work outside of the research unit. Prof. Karen Alim, PI for our project "Dynamic patterns of the plant growth regulator auxin", has recently been featured in an article by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. Here she talks about her work with the physarum polycephalum as professor for biological physics and morphogenesis at...
Due to the ongoing COVID situation, the research unit decided to held its bi-annual meeting online on the 23rd of April 2021. The PIs, PhD students, and postdocs presented the latest results of their joined projects and were able to meet online and discuss their research. The group was happy to have Professor Thorsten Hamann from the Norwegian University of...
We are happy to announce that two new papers by our team have been published! D. Ramos, J.R., Maizel, A. & Alim, K. Tissue-wide integration of mechanical cues promotes effective auxin patterning. Eur. Phys. J. Plus 136, 250 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1140/epjp/s13360-021-01204-6Lilli Marie Schütz, Marion Louveaux, Amaya Vilches Barro, Sami Bouziri, Lorenzo Cerrone, Adrian Wolny, Anna Kreshuk, Fred A Hamprecht, Alexis Maizel, Integration of Cell Growth and...
(Arabidopsis ovule atlas enabling the quantitative spatio-temporal analysis of cell parameters and gene expression patterns in an organ of complex architecture) We are happy to announce that our latest paper has been published on eLife titled A digital 3D reference atlas reveals cellular growth patterns shaping the Arabidopsis ovule. This work was spearheaded by Athul Vijayan and Rachele Tofanelli and is the...
We are happy to share a new paper by Adrian Wolny and other FOR members about "Accurate and versatile 3D segmentation of plant tissues at cellular resolution". Find more information about it here: https://elifesciences.org/articles/57613DOI: 10.7554/eLife.57613
We are looking for a postdoc in the area of Computational Modelling of Development See the Job section for more details.
On 26th March 2019 FOR2581 Quantitative Plant Morphodynamics research unit held its 4th meeting at the Technical University of Munich. The group was delighted to have Dr. Célia Baroux as a guest, who held a talk about the contribution of ovule patterning to reproductive lineage establishment in Arabidopsis. In addition, the PIs, PhD students, and postdocs presented the latest results...
On 9th October 2018 the FOR2581 Quantitative Plant Morphodynamics research unit held its 3rd meeting at the Centre for Organismal Studies at the University of Heidelberg. The PIs, PhD students, and postdocs presented the latest results of their joined projects and were able to meet and discuss their research. The next meeting is planned for spring 2019 in Munich.
