Congratulations to the Shabek Lab, and especially to Angelica, for contributing to an exciting new collaborative study led by Caroline Gutjahr’s group (Max Planck). The work, “The GRAS protein RAM1 interacts with WRI transcription factors to regulate plant genes required for arbuscule development and function,” sheds light on key mechanisms driving symbiotic interactions in plants.…
Congratulations to the Shabek Lab especially Malathy – research with the labs of Yanran Li (UCSD), Dave Nelson (UCR) and Xiaonan Xie (Utsunomiya University, Tochigi, Japan) group now published in Science – more discoveries on Strigolactone signaling pathway: Evolution of interorganismal strigolactone biosynthesis in seed plants. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adp0779
Congratulations Brian, Shabek Lab undergraduate student researcher, has been awarded the UC Davis Provost’s Undergraduate Fellowship (PUF, 2025)!
Our research on the SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase interactome in plants is now published in New Phytologist and featured as the cover of December (2024) issue!
Our research is published in New Phytologist today! Using TurboID (proximity labeling) transgenic lines expressing ubiquitin ligase module, we revealed their protein interactome in planta.
