Editorial overview: Cell biology in the era of omics?

Eva Benkova leads a research group at the Institute of Science and Technology, Austria. She is a plant developmental biologist and her research focuses on molecular mechanisms and principles underlying hormonal interactions in plants and the identification of key points in which hormonal signaling pathways converge to control plant growth and development.

Yasin Dagdas is a group leader at the Gregor Mendel Institute, Vienna Biocenter. His group tries to understand the molecular underpinnings of selective autophagy by combining mechanistic tools with evolutionary approaches.
