Prof. Viktor Žárský
- Please tell us about yourself and your research/institution.
I established the Laboratory of cell biology at the Institute of experimental botany, Czech academy of sciences and am at the same time professor at the Department of experimental plant Biology, Charles University in Prague. My research focuses on the biology of plant cell polarity and morphogenesis/development regulated by small GTPases and their effectors in the endomembrane system, especially vesicle tethering complex exocyst and early land plants evolution.
- What motivated you to get into plant science?
As a child I was fascinated by microscopy and as a high school student I got interested in algae - so that algology was my entry point into plant cell and developmental biology.
- How have you used (Agrisera) antibodies in your research?
In our research we do not only use Agrisera antibodies, but in collaboration with Agrisera we successfully developed two antibodies against core exocyst complex subunits. From our efforts to develop antibodies we can say that the collaboration with Agrisera was very useful.
