New Greenhouse in Poppelsdorf
The Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science put new high-tech greenhouse into operation.
NEW PUBLICATION: Jutta Baldauf et al. publish paper in Plant Physiology highlighting transcriptomic patterns
Baldauf et al. highlight transcriptomic patterns underlying heterosis manifestation in primary roots of maize in an evolutionary context. Notably, nonsyntenic genes were significantly overrepresented among differential, nonadditive and allelic expression patterns in the reciprocal hybrids of the parental inbred lines B73 and Mo17.
Bonn Marathon 2016
On April 10th 2016 lab members participated in the Deutsche Post Marathon Bonn.
NEW PUBLICATIONS in Special Issue of Journal of Experimental Botany
"Plant roots: new challenges in a changing world" features new developments in the area of root functional and genetic research that offer strategies for tackling the global challenges set by increasing population and climate change.
NEW PUBLICATION: Peng Yu et al. publish article in Plant Physiology
Yu et al. provide divergent transcriptome pattern of lateral root initiation in response to local high nitrate using LCM-RNA-Seq. Notably, brace roots displayed an exceptional architectural plasticity compared to other root types and highlighted differences in the functional adaptability to heterogeneous distributed nitrate.
