The endodermis - unraveling the function of an ancient barrier (ENDOFUN)
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2019,
"In addition to maintaining homeostasis within their cells, multicellular organisms also need to control their inner, extracellular spaces between cells. In order to do so, epithelia have developed, bearing ring-like paracellular barriers, with specialised membrane surfaces facing either the environment or the inner space of the organism. In animals, such polarised epithelia use specialised protei ...

The plant endodermis - unraveling functions of a crucial barrier (THE PLANT ENDODERMIS)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
In our modern society we are dependent on efficient agricultural production of plants. To enable sustainable food production for a growing population, increased knowledge of how plants coordinate their resources is of key importance. As natural resources become scarce, understanding how plants assimilate and incorporate compounds through the roots is essential for engineering crops with increased ...

Plant endomembrane trafficking in physiology and development (PLANT-MEMB-TRAFF)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
Understanding the structure and function of endomembrane compartments is central to a mechanistic understanding of eukaryotic cell behavior. Multi-cellular organisms show an increased complexity and specialization in their endomembrane trafficking pathways. Higher plants have independently developed multi-cellularity and show a differently structured, but highly complex endomembrane system that re ...
