Welcome to the Annual Meeting 2026 in Münster!We are looking forward to welcoming all participants to this year's PlantsCoChallenge Annual Meeting, which will take place in Münster from 5–7 October 2026.
Following the Annual Meeting, our Early Career Scientists (ECS) Workshop will be held from 7–8 October 2026. We are excited to see everyone in Münster for several days of inspiring science, lively discussions, and networking. July 2026 |
Welcome to Our New Early Career Researchers!We are delighted to welcome two new members to our Research Unit!
A warm welcome to Timon Hansen, who has joined us as a PhD student, and to Jessil Ann Pajar, who has joined our team as a postdoctoral researcher. We are excited to have Timon and Jessil as part of our research community and look forward to their scientific contributions and the perspectives they will bring to the Research Unit. We wish them both a successful start and hope they will enjoy being part of our collaborative and interdisciplinary community. Welcome to the team! July 2026 |

A key goal of plant biotechnology is the targeted improvement of resilience to biotic and abiotic stress. Genetically encoded biosensors can contribute to understanding stress physiology of crops by providing
real-time information on dynamics of metabolism and signalling across different scales. Recently, barley plants equipped with the glutathione redox sensor Grx1-roGFP2 in their cytosol provided novel insights in the specific responses of barley to abiotic and biotic stresses. February 2025
