The aim of our research is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of plant morphogenesis via understanding the process of cell shape acquisition and its associated signaling pathways. We are particularly focusing our studies on auxin transport and signaling, endomembrane trafficking and cell wall function in cell shape acquisition. Most of our work is established on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana but we also work on spruce, poplar and tomato. Have also a look on our external group homepage: http://srobertgroup.com.

Teaching

2022                Pannel discussion for Master preparation course

2022-              Co-responsible for Plant Master program at SLU (“Växtbiologi för hållbar produktion - masterprogram”, Plant Biology for Sustainable Production - master program.

2018-2022       I have been responsible for the Plant and Growth Development course in the Plant Master program at SLU (“Växtbiologi för hållbar produktion - masterprogram”, Plant Biology for Sustainable Production - master program). This master program includes several different departments of SLU based all over Sweden. The courses are performed in different localities (Umeå, Ultuna, Alnarp) and taught through live streaming conferences and live teaching (Canvas system). I was responsible for this course and am involved in planning the course schedule and organizing the labs and the exams. I have taught two to three  classes each year. We had around 15 students in Umeå and 30 in total. The examination methods are diverse and include written and oral exams. The written exams are based on small questions with short answers, integrating several parts of the courses together on one reflection, or writing part of a scientific article based on the presentation of figures. The oral exams mainly consist of presentation of scientific articles.  I was involved in the organization and evaluation of both. 

 

2014-2018       “Basic Biology” course from the “Bioresource Engineering Master Program” (first, second and third year of engineering degree, 8 to 10 hrs/year). For these classes, I was fully involved in the development of the program and planning of the course for the basic biology section. This was a new program started in 2014 and from the beginning I have been leading several meetings and organizing the courses. We had around ten students per year on this program (see example attached of course program). 

2010-2016       Cell Biology class (Intracellular compartments & transport; Control of Gene Expression, Master level, 2 to 4 hrs/year).

                        Functional Genomics (Chemical Biology, Master level, 2 hrs/year).

2010-2013       Agrochemical course (Master level, 2hrs/year)

2002-2004       Practical biology courses at INAPG (Institut National Agronomique Paris Grignon, Engineer degree, 15 hrs/year).

Practical biology courses at University of Versailles St Quentin (Master degree level, 12 hrs/year).

 

I have also taught some plant development and chemical biology courses at the master level in Palaky University (Olomouc, Czech Republic) and TemasekUniversity (Singapore), as an invited teacher. 

Research

Plants have acquired the capacity to grow continuously and adapt their architecture in response to endogenous or external signals, leading to essential morphological adjustments. Morphological changes can be mediated by cell shape acquisition, which is a very complex process in plants due to the presence of a cell wall, located outside the cell’s plasma membrane. The cell wall provides mechanical support and protection to the plant cell and thus needs to be fairly rigid, but also flexible to allow elongation and growth, participating in the determination of plant cell shape and architecture.

The phytohormone auxin is an important growth regulator that stimulates cell elongation by inducing wall loosening factors. Importantly, local concentrations of auxin are thought to regulate most aspects of plant development2. The generation of an auxin pattern requires polar auxin transport, which is mediated by the PIN-FORMED (PIN) protein family of auxin efflux facilitators. Auxin action is enhanced by the activity of other classes of growth regulators3, highlighting the importance of small molecules in the control of plant architecture establishment.

Using cell biology, classical genetics and chemical genomics approaches we aim to i) discover new small molecules triggering endomembrane trafficking and signaling events regulating cell expansion, ii) dissect the associated endomembrane trafficking or signaling pathways, iii) understand the link between cell shape determination and cell wall composition.
