New pre-print from our lab
We are happy to share our latest pre-print on the membrane-resident and heteromeric remorin complex, which we just deposited on bioRxiv. It has been a long journey with numerous experimental attempts to unravel the function of group 1 remorin proteins. Thanks to all authors for their contributions and inputs.

Collaborative work published in Plant Physiology
In a study led by Jesús Montiel from the lab of Jens Stougaard at the University of Aarhus, we show that intercellular colonization of Lotus japonicus roots by the rhizobium strain IRBG74 requires a partially different genetic make-up compared to strains infecting in an intracellular manner. Thanks for letting us being a partner in this study and congratulations to all authors!

Collaborative work published in Plant Cell
Work led by the lab of Marco Trujillo is now accepted in Plant Cell. His lab shows that the Exocyst Subunit Exo70B2 is Linked to immunity and autophagy maintaining cellular homeostasis during enhanced secretory activity. We are grateful that we could contribute a bit to this nice project.
Congratulations to all authors!

New lab member
We are very happy to finally have Guofeng Zhang with us. He joins us from the Northwest Agriculture & Forestry University, China and will work on aspects of cell wall remodelling during symbiotic infections in legumes.
Welcome, Guofeng!

New contribution of our EM unit
Congratulations to the team of Sonja Albers from the University of Freiburg, who demonstrated in a recent article that the MinD4 protein oscillates along the cell axis and stimulates the formation of chemosensory arrays and archaella in the archaeon H. volcanii. We greatly appreciate that Marta Rodriguez-Franco, head of our EM unit, could contribute to this nice story.
