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...
The FOR2581 will hold its symposium on quantitative Morphodynamics on September 9th-11th in Heidelberg. We gathered a very nice line up of speakers to discuss plant morphogenesis. All details can be found here.
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.
Over three days (16-18.05), members of the Research Unit learned the basics and advanced features of MorphographX and ilastik two of the workhorses used in the consortium to analyse plant organ development. In additions to hands-on tutorials by Adrian Wolny, Aleksandra Sapala, Sören Strauss and Marion Louveaux, participants could process their own data. To release the pressure: visit of the castle...
Invitation to the 11th International PhD School Plant Development (www.plant-development.org). The meeting brings together early career researchers and leading scientists and will take place October 10-12 in Zellingen-Retzbach close to Würzburg, Germany.
On April 12th the FOR2581 Quantitative Plant Morphodynamics research unit held its second meeting at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding in Cologne. Members (PhD, postdoc & PIs) had the opportunity to meet and present the first results of their join projects. As it is now a tradition, the meeting started with a guest lecture by Kirsten ten Tusscher who...
On 23 October the FOR2581 Quantitative Plant Morphodynamics research unit held its kickoff meeting at the Centre for Organismal Studies in Heidelberg. More than 30 researchers (PhD, postdoc & PIs) from Heidelberg, Cologne, Munich and Göttingen had the opportunity to meet and exchange. The day was started by a guest seminar by Arun Sampathkumar from MPI Golm on Mechano-chemical basis of cell and...
