Title: Mobile Messengers in Plants: Lost in Translation?
Speaker: Friedrich Kragler
Affiliation: Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology
Abstract:
The ability of plants to exchange RNA molecules and transcription factors between cells and tissues is a relatively recent discovery. However, all areas of research such as plant development, metabolism, and plant pathogen interactions now realize the importance of this phenomenon. The recent progress on the isolation and characterization of a number of plasmodesmal proteins will lead to rapid advances in this field of study. Friedrich Kragler (Habilitation by the University of Vien - 2004) is a leading scientist in this research area and Project Leader of “Local and Systemic Phloem-mediated Transport of Macromolecules” at the Metabolic Networks Department of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology. Friedrich Kragler is co-supervisor of the PhD project of Sara Tedesco "Grapevine graft (in)compatibility: a search for molecular and metabolic markers”.
