Research focus
Research at the biochemistry division focuses on the analysis of molecular mechanisms and signal transduction pathways underlying the regulation of primary metabolism and cellular communication in plants. Applying molecular physiology and phytopathogical methods intra- as well as inter-organismic interactions are studied. Moreover, biotechnological approaches to optimize crop plants are followed.
Researchers from the Chair of Biochemistry, together with partners from the CASS research network, investigated the question of why provitamin A-rich cassava roots ("yellow cassava") have a reduced starch content. The results have now been published in The Plant Journal (Gutschker et al., 2024). It ...
In addition to heat, late blight is threatening the potato harvest in Europe. In order to protect the harvest, farmers are dependent on plant protection products whose effectiveness and range of application are decreasing due to new EU regulations and the development of resistant and aggressive fung...
On June 7, 2024, three doctoral students had the opportunity to visit the plant breeding and biotechnology company KWS in Einbeck and take part in the TalentCampus. The event allowed us to take a look behind the scenes of the breeding company's research and development departments.
We visited the...
