1/ 🌱 When plants face stress, they often suppress growth to save resources.
In our new Science Advances paper, we reveal how: plants repurpose their ER quality control machinery (ERAD) to regulate auxin compartmentalization and thus growth.

ERAD machinery controls the conditional turnover of PIN-LIKES in plants
Plant ERAD machinery governs the turnover of auxin transporters involved in developmental and stress responses.

#CIBSS brought signalling science to life last month at #ScienceDays2025!
Visitors isolated their own cheek-cell DNA🧬, watched zebrafish embryos develop 🔬, and explored plant genetics & symbiosis 🌱
A glimpse into CIBSS research & the “molecular language of life”.

I am beyond thrilled (like the screaming and jumping type of thrilled) that my SNSF Starting Grant was funded. I will start my own lab @unibe.ch next year, studying succulent anatomy development and if and how this anatomy is required for efficient CAM photosynthesis in different Kalanchoë species 🌱
