Arabidopsis trichome has two distinct plasma membrane domains with different lipid composition. Each domain binds different EXO70 paralog. Check out our new paper in the special cell wall issue of IJMS mdpi.com/1422-0067/20/1….

Please welcome a new player in the ROP GTPase cycle - Armadillo Repeat Only proteins. Watch a little teaser to our just released article in the Nature Plants. nature.com/articles/s4147…

Big congrats to Vedrana! See our EXO70A2 pollen tube story.

In some species, Seeds from the same plant source, ‘siblings’ appeared to recognise each other using chemical cues. They grow less invasive lateral roots allowing their ‘sibling’ an equal right to resources and their leaves would touch and intertwine 1/3

Big congrats to Matyas!

It’s just amazing. I really need to think about this. Four different plasmids with pigment genes. Grown up in E. coli individually, mixed, and plated. Wow. Univ. of Puget Sound ASM

Rapid redirection of auxin fluxes during root gravitropism by translocation of NGR proteins driving polarization of PIN-activating kinases biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

Our new preprint on NGRs in root gravitropic bending biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In our new lab, we are opening 2 new positions, one PhD, one postdoc. So if you are interested in cell polarity, consider. jobs.bc.cas.cz/en/detail/197 jobs.bc.cas.cz/en/detail/198

Finally, the reviewed preprint on our efforts about the interplay of NGR and AGC kinases is out on eLife - the journal . Please read here: doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

If you want to know more about the interplay of NGR1 and AGC kinases, have a look at our recent work below!

Although mostly distantly and historically, I'm very proud to be a part of this. Trichomes are indeed fascinating structures. Blue - cell wall autoflourescence, yellow- PI4P, magenta - chlorophyl. doi.org/10.1093/plcell…

RALF (magenta) triggers local calcium response

My grandfather built motors that powered big machines. In a lab not so different from his workshop, my colleagues and I uncovered the assembly of the bacterial motor. Today, this discovery has been published in Nature Microbiology #MolecularNodes #Discovery nature.com/articles/s4156…

I'm hiring a postdoc. The pay is average, but the biological question and preliminary data on the project are outstanding. I will gladly share more to those who are seriosuly considering. jobs.bc.cas.cz/en/detail/223

Armadillo Repeat Only proteins enable function of multiple, if not all CNGC channels. These are essential for plethoha of calcium signals triggered by stresses, hormones and pathogens. Read our new perprint. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

ROS bursts after auxin, RALF, eATP or mechanical bending? We monitored them all. What triggers them and what are they good for? Many surprises! Read our new preprint, a second one in a row. Thanks ISTA and Biology Centre CAS for amazing environment. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

VAS2870, used as and NAPDH oxidase inhibitor, does not inhibit NADPH oxidases very well. Instead, it causes auxin transport defects leading to complete loss of gravitropism. Watch auxin reponrter R2D2, where lack of yellow signal = accumulated auxin. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
