We received an IRRTF (internal UoM) grant to consolidate a joint PhD program with the Max-Planck Institute for Molecular Plant Physiology and University of Potsdam. The grant will allow for 7 MPI/UP researchers to come to UoM in 2017 and 7 UoM researchers to travel to MPI/UP in 2018.
Our paper on the coordination of metabolites and transcripts during secondary wall induction has been accepted in Plant Physiology.
