Congratulations to our postdoc @henrykstraube for getting his Phd thesis honored!🌱
I am honored and thrilled to receive the Wilhelm-Pfeffer price for my doctoral thesis. It has been a wild ride and this price is the icing on the cake.
Thanks to everyone involved and special thanks to the @PlantSciDBG_en !

Last week, our group member @k_vollheyde took part in the @MSCActions organized #ScienceIsWonderful fair in Brussels.
It´s so rewarding to see shining kids´ eyes when sharing our excitement for science.
@Roocfer1 and I shared our fascination for plants and the products they make at our booth “The Plant Factory” at the #ScienceIsWonderful fair.
Thanks to @MSCActions for this great event.
Congratulations to the @Franke_Lab and the D'Auria group on their exciting work published in Science! 🎉 Dive into the biosynthesis of the allelopathic alkaloid gramine in barley, involving a cryptic oxidative rearrangement!
🌾🔬 #plantsci ^DB
Our paper on the biosynthesis of the toxic alkaloid gramine in barley is out @ScienceMagazine! Fantastic collaboration with groups of D'Auria and Kumlehn @LeibnizIPK, and Witte @UniHannover. Very proud of my group for everyone's outstanding contribution! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Talk about large plant genomes... The 13-Gb faba bean genome is out!

The cocaine biosynthesis pathway has remained a mystery... until now! Check out this great work from the Kunming Institute of Botany, including production in Nicotiana benthamiana😲 ^FG

Seeing whitening of lupin leaves is a great sign in our group! We use virus-induced gene silencing (aka #VIGS) to silence genes in lupin plants; genes we think may be involved in the production of lupin defence compounds. A thread ↓ 1/

So, there you have it. We combine a plant virus, a bacterium, and two plant species for VIGS to work. VIGS also works in many other plant species than lupin. If you are curious to learn more, this paper is good go-to source:
