Now we want to focus on this pathway in other parts of plants and other species, such as grasses that are closely related to cereals, which brings us closer to possible practical applications," says Matyáš Fendrych from the Faculty of Science of the Charles University.

"Our primary goal is to understand the limits of what the vertebrate eye is capable of! Most vertebrates have a very similar – evolutionarily conserved – eye structure. It is by studying extremes such as the eye of deep-sea fish that we can also learn many useful insights about the human eye, or gain inspiration for the design of telescopes, for example," says Zuzana Musilová from the Faculty of Science, Charles University, who has now been awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator grant.
