Early Responses of Brassica oleracea Roots to Zinc Supply Under Sufficient and Sub-Optimal Phosphorus Supply (2020)
Journal Article
Pongrac, P., Fischer, S., Thompson, J. A., Wright, G., & White, P. J. (2020). Early Responses of Brassica oleracea Roots to Zinc Supply Under Sufficient and Sub-Optimal Phosphorus Supply. Frontiers in Plant Science, 10, Article 1645. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2019.01645

© Copyright © 2020 Pongrac, Fischer, Thompson, Wright and White. Shoot zinc (Zn) concentration in Brassica oleracea is affected by soil Zn and phosphorus (P) supply. Most problematic is the negative impact of P fertilizers on Zn concentrations in cro...

Natural variation in Arabidopsis thaliana Cd responses and the detection of quantitative trait loci affecting Cd tolerance (2017)
Journal Article
Fischer, S., Spielau, T., & Clemens, S. (2017). Natural variation in Arabidopsis thaliana Cd responses and the detection of quantitative trait loci affecting Cd tolerance. Scientific Reports, 7(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-03540-z

Metal tolerance is often a result of metal storage or distribution. Thus, with the goal of advancing the molecular understanding of such metal homeostatic mechanisms, natural variation of metal tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana was investigated. Subs...

Analysis of plant Pb tolerance at realistic submicromolar concentrations demonstrates the role of phytochelatin synthesis for Pb detoxification (2014)
Journal Article
Fischer, S., Kühnlenz, T., Thieme, M., Schmidt, H., & Clemens, S. (2014). Analysis of plant Pb tolerance at realistic submicromolar concentrations demonstrates the role of phytochelatin synthesis for Pb detoxification. Environmental Science and Technology, 48(13), 7552-7559. https://doi.org/10.1021/es405234p

Lead (Pb) ranks first among metals with respect to tonnage produced and released into the environment. It is highly toxic and therefore an important pollutant of worldwide concern. Plant Pb uptake, accumulation, and detoxification mobilize Pb into fo...

A mutation in the Arabidopsis thaliana cell wall biosynthesis gene pectin methylesterase 3 as well as its aberrant expression cause hypersensitivity specifically to Zn (2013)
Journal Article
Weber, M., Deinlein, U., Fischer, S., Rogowski, M., Geimer, S., Tenhaken, R., & Clemens, S. (2013). A mutation in the Arabidopsis thaliana cell wall biosynthesis gene pectin methylesterase 3 as well as its aberrant expression cause hypersensitivity specifically to Zn. Plant Journal, 76(1), 151-164. https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.12279

Defects in metal homeostasis factors are often accompanied by the loss of metal tolerance. Therefore, we screened for mutants with compromised growth in the presence of excess Zn2+ in order to identify factors involved in Zn biology in plants. Here w...

Functional Dissection of the Drosophila melanogaster Condensin Subunit Cap-G Reveals Its Exclusive Association with Condensin I (2013)
Journal Article
Herzog, S., Nagarkar Jaiswal, S., Urban, E., Riemer, A., Fischer, S., & Heidmann, S. K. (2013). Functional Dissection of the Drosophila melanogaster Condensin Subunit Cap-G Reveals Its Exclusive Association with Condensin I. PLoS Genetics, 9(4), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003463

The heteropentameric condensin complexes have been shown to participate in mitotic chromosome condensation and to be required for unperturbed chromatid segregation in nuclear divisions. Vertebrates have two condensin complexes, condensin I and conden...
