Promotion of testa rupture during garden cress germination involves seed compartment-specific expression and activity of pectin methylesterases (2015)
Journal Article
Scheler, C., Weitbrecht, K., Pearce, S. P., Hampstead, A., Büttner-Mainik, A., Lee, K. J., …Leubner-Metzger, G. (2015). Promotion of testa rupture during garden cress germination involves seed compartment-specific expression and activity of pectin methylesterases. Plant Physiology, 167(1),

Pectin methylesterase (PME) controls the methylesterification status of pectins and thereby determines the biophysical properties of plant cell walls, which are important for tissue growth and weakening processes. We demonstrate here that tissue-spec...

Large-scale identification of gibberellin-related transcription factors defines Group VII ERFs as functional DELLA partners (2014)
Journal Article

Barley has two peroxisomal ABC transporters with multiple functions in ?-oxidation (2014)
Journal Article

In oilseed plants, peroxisomal ?-oxidation functions not only in lipid catabolism but also in jasmonate biosynthesis and metabolism of pro-auxins. Subfamily D ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters mediate import of ?-oxidation substrates into the p...

Mechanical constraints imposed by 3D cellular geometry and arrangement modulate growth patterns in the Arabidopsis embryo (2014)
Journal Article
Bassel, G., Stamm, P., Mosca, G., Barbier de Reuille, P., Gibbs, D., Winter, R., …Smith, R. (2014). Mechanical constraints imposed by 3D cellular geometry and arrangement modulate growth patterns in the Arabidopsis embryo. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(23), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1404616111

Morphogenesis occurs in 3D space over time and is guided by coordinated gene expression programs. Here we use postembryonic development in Arabidopsis plants to investigate the genetic control of growth. We demonstrate that gene expression driving th...

Homeostatic response to hypoxia is regulated by the N-end rule pathway in plants (2011)
Journal Article
Gibbs, D. J., Lee, S. C., Md Isa, N., Gramuglia, S., Fukao, T., Bassel, G. W., …Holdsworth, M. J. (2011). Homeostatic response to hypoxia is regulated by the N-end rule pathway in plants. Nature, 479(7373), 415-418. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature10534

Plants and animals are obligate aerobes, requiring oxygen for mitochondrial respiration and energy production. In plants, an unanticipated decline in oxygen availability (hypoxia), as caused by roots becoming waterlogged or foliage submergence, trigg...
