25 – 28 May 2025 – Workshop on RNA Transport in Plants, Harnack House, Berlin, Germany

Join us for an exciting workshop on RNA transport, focusing on the latest developments in intra- and intercellular RNA transport in plants. This open forum will feature discussions on recent advances, challenges, and ideas. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with leading scientists and explore cutting-edge research in RNA transport!

PUBLICATION: The glycine-rich domain of GRP7 plays a crucial role in binding long RNAs and facilitating phase separation

PUBLICATION! Structural and functional analysis of a plant nucleolar RNA chaperone‑like protein

NURC1 localizes to the nucleolus of plant cell nuclei, exhibits RNA chaperone‑like activity and may have a function in pre‑rRNA processing and thus ribosome biogenesis.

8 August 2023, Plant Biology 2023 in Savannah, Georgia

PLAMORF PI is one of the plenary speakers of Plant Biology 2023 (ASPB) meeting on the topic of long-distance travel of messenger RNAs.
