our lab is primarily interested in auxin and other plant hormone responses in the tiny weed arabidopsis thaliana. since several of these signaling cascades are regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system, we are also engaged in functional characterization of a number of f-box proteins. Our approaches are mostly genetics-based such as: forward genetic screens reverse genetics utilizing natural variation within the global arabidopsis gene pool quantitative genetics → qtl mapping we are located at the leibniz institute of plant biochemistry (ipb) in halle. our junior research group is part of a larger research network that deals with structures and mechanisms of biological information processing, the so-called exzellenznetzwerk für biowissenschaften. see our static website.
