To prevent the development of chloroplasts, Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings were grown on medium containing Spectinomycin, an inhibitor of translation: A, B control plants without inhibitor; C, D seedlings with inhibitor. Images and copyright: Anike Schaller, Kiel University
Anike Schaller erhielt den Preis für die beste pflanzenwissenschaftliche Master-Arbeit, die an der xxUniversitätxx im Jahr 20xx erstellt wurde, von der Deutschen Botanischen Gesellschaft.
Anike Schaller's Master thesis was awarded with the Prize for the Best Plant Science Master Thesis, which was carried out at Kiel University in the year 2017
Title of awarded thesis
"Investigations into the role of WHIRLY proteins in communication between nucleus and organelles"
Schaller has shown, that the inhibition of the chloroplast's development coincides with increased expression of nuclear genes encoding anti-stress proteins such as WHIRLY2 in mitochondria.
