Cay’s Master thesis dealt with the effects of boron deficiency and, in particular, to determine the involvement of the phytohormone auxin. Understanding these processes could lead to improved breeding for boron efficiency in the long term. Her work combined advanced molecular biological methods with modern microscopy techniques. Congratulations!
