Lukáš Fiedler on the secret language of plants
How do plants know how to shape themselves without anyone telling them how? Lukáš Fiedler thinks the answer lies in a powerful plant hormone called auxin. From collecting beetles in a small South Bohemian village to conducting cutting-edge research at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), his journey is fuelled by curiosity about how plant cells communicate, self-organize, and respond to signals.
