Research

At the Department of Plant Physiology
and Biochemistry we work on molecular mechanisms of plant adaptation to
changes in environmental parameters. The research interests range from
analysis of gene expression regulation to analysis of protein
structure, metabolic regulation and developmental patterns.




- cDNA-arrays for gene expression analysis
- Plant molecular biology (DNA- and
RNA-technics, Yeast-two-hybrid- and one hybrid-methods, site directed mutagenesis, transgenics, coupled in vitro transcription / translation)
- Protein
analytics (Chromatography, chemical modification, enzymology,
protein-protein-interactions; complex assembly; immunological techniques,
1- and 2-D-gele electrophoresis, proteomics)
- Biochemical
and physiological methods (Metabolite analysis, enzymology,
HPLC/FLPC-analytics, fluorimetry, spectrophotometry, luminometry,
chlorophyll
a-fluorescence analysis / PAM, microscopy PAM)
- Mutants and
transformants (stable insertion mutants, transient expression in cells
and protoplasts, mutant screens; heterologous expression of proteins)
- Plants: Arabidopsis thaliana, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, Hordeum vulgare, Brassica napus and other plants
Sorry, the page is still under construction. For some projects the
description is only available in German. For information in English
please have a look at the pages of individual group members (menue:
