Our addition to the growing toolkit for characterizing strigolactone receptors. We love transient expression in benthi, so why not use CRISPR to make it a better platform? Led by grad student Alex White with help from Jose Mendez and Aashima Khosla dx.doi.org/10.1002/pld3.3…

Shukla Group Briana Sobecks ChBE Illinois Stanford University Jiming F Chen Undergraduate Research @ Illinois Congratulations Briana Sobecks! Check out her first author paper recently published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry on plant hormone receptors. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…


Our recent work on activation mechanism of plant strigolactone receptors now featured as #CoverArt JCIM & JCTC Journals! Congratulations to Jiming F Chen for designing the cover. ACS for Authors #MyACSCover Diwakar Shukla Dave Nelson



Our new paper Nature Plants is out! We combined structure function approaches & CRISPR editing in plants to elucidate the conformational switch of MAX2 #ubiquitin ligase in #strigolactone path & we found a primary metabolite that unlocks the ligase nature.com/articles/s4147…

We are very excited to officially announce that Caroline Gutjahr will join our institute MPIMP Potsdam Golm 🌱🧪 as a new director to build a department focusing on mycorrhizal symbiosis. We are very much appreciating to welcome you here Potsdam Science Park 🧪🌱🔭 Park and to do exciting research together!



Our publication is in Nature Communications on strigolactones as chemoattractants for host tropism in Orobanchaceae parasitic plants. Thank you Shirasu Lab@RIKEN Dave Nelson alex RIKEN NAIST (English) UC Riverside ! disq.us/t/49y4r56

Pretty proud of this review that Mark Waters and I wrote on karrikin signaling and the (still) mysterious KAI2 ligand. 18 years after the discovery of karrikins in smoke, this field has come a long way! Final version is out now nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…



🎉check out our latest exciting collaborative study published Science Magazine with Dudareva group (Purdue U with Nitzan Shabek Biological Sciences funded by U.S. National Science Foundation): communication in plants relies on a KAI2-mediated signaling pathway science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

How do karrikins and strigolactones control plant growth? A beautiful structure-function analysis by graduate student Sunhyun Chang reveals a major regulatory domain that specifies the development “outputs” of SMXL proteins biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
