We offer the plant research community and companies access to our latest phosphoproteomics approaches. 

Experiments are performed under Research Service Agreement, following well-established protocols for all (plant) species of interest.

 #ArtGenetics

Our fruits, vegetables, and cereal crops stem from a wild ancestor and have undergone major changes through millennia of domestication and selection. There are various ways to reveal plant diversity over time, and one of these is through the combination of art history and genetics (also known as #ArtGenetics).

Advanced Proteomics and Functional Biology

Functional Phosphoproteomics

Protein phosphorylation is one of the most important mechanisms controlling cellular signaling. We use state-of-the-art phosphoproteomics to identify dynamic phosphorylation events and reconstruct signaling networks that regulate plant growth and environmental responses. This approach allows us to move from phenotype to mechanism at systems scale.

Plant Growth and Physiology and Environmental Adaptation

Almost every organism is exposed to variation in temperature, on a daily and on a seasonal basis. This is especially true for plants that, as sessile organisms, need to continuously alter their growth, development, and physiology in response to temperature variation. To sense and respond to temperature changes, several molecular sensors and downstream signalling and response networks have evolved.
