our lab is primarily interested in auxin and other plant hormone responses in the tiny weed arabidopsis thaliana. since several of these hormone-triggered signaling cascades are regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligases and functional characterization of their selective f-box protein subunits are another focus of our research activities.
we apply mostly genetic approaches, 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.
