We were awarded by the Grant Agency of Masaryk University (GAMU) for oustanding research results (2020 MUNI Excellent Scientist Award), for securing the MSCA IF of Subodh Verma, PhD. The project ITRABAE is starting Jan. 1st, 2021 and will study the function of selected transcription factors in regulating the expression auxin biosynthetic genes in Arabidopsis seeds. We are honoured to be among the 30 MUNI awardees this year. Thanks to GAMU and MUNI; whitout forgetting the great people of the grant offices at CEITEC MU and MUNI to help with the preparation and the success of this project application.
