Plant roots are the best! We study diverse and crazy cell type developmental programs at cellular resolution in plant roots. We have a special focus on those that make the plant more resilient in extreme stresses.
Interested in learning about the latest and greatest research in how plants respond to excess salt, too little or too much water? Come to the GRC in Salt and Water Stress in Switzerland. Lots of opportunities for all career levels. www.grc.org/salt-and-wat.... Please repost!
