Sjon Hartman Institute of Biology III / Hilde Mangold Haus |
Molecular Plant Sciences - Plant (root) responses to the environment, with a focus on plant submergence / Ethylene and low-oxygen signaling / Epigenetic stress memory |
CIBSS |
 |
Andreas Hiltbrunner Institute of Biology II, Dept. of Molecular Plant Physiology |
Molecular Plant Sciences - Molecular mechanisms of light perception an downstream signalling in seed plants and cryptogams (e.g. Arabidopsis thaliana, Physcomitrella patens) / Evolution of light signalling in plants / Phytochrome signalling / Integration of light, hormone, and environmental signalling |
CIBSS |
 |
Jürgen Kleine-Vehn Institute of Biology II, Dept. of Molecular Plant Physiology |
Molecular Plant Sciences - We use cell biological and biochemical approaches to study plant (cell) size determination at a molecular, subcellular, and organ scale. Our research unravels hormonal control of plant growth and thereby mechanistically characterizes traits of agricultural significance. |
CIBSS |
 |
Laura Ragni Institute of Biology II |
Molecular Plant Sciences - Our team seeks to understand the mechanisms underlying stem cell proliferation and differentiation during root radial growth and decipher the processes behind plant protective barrier formation, striving to engineer plants more resilient to challenging environmental conditions. |
CIBSS |
 |
Ralf Reski Institute of Biology II |
Molecular Plant Sciences - Gene expression (transcripts, proteins, protein modifications, metabolites, sub-cellular integration) in the moss Physcomitrella patens |
CIBSS |
 |
Annegret Wilde Institute of Biology III |
Molecular Plant Sciences - Investigations on phototaxis using different photoreceptors / Elucidating the potential of cyanobacteria as producers of amino acids, proteins as well as biofuels / Investigations on the role of RNA-based regulators in bacteria / Characterisation of photosynthetic functions, light-harvesting and its regulation / Studies on the circadian clock of cyanobacteria |
