Biography
The Institute of Plant Sciences at the University of Regensburg conducts advanced research in plant biology, focusing on areas such as plant reproduction, development, and gene expression regulation. Key topics include germline development, fertilization mechanisms, seed formation, and plant responses to environmental stresses like heat. The research integrates molecular, genetic, and biochemical approaches to address fundamental and applied challenges. Studies explore the regulation of gene expression within chromatin, focusing on transcriptional elongation and mRNA processing, which impact flowering, seed production, and stress adaptation. Additional research investigates male flower development, particularly in cereal crops, analyzing processes like pollen differentiation and reproductive transitions. Evolutionary studies focus on polyploidy, hybridization, and species diversification, combining phylogenetics and biogeography to understand plant adaptation.
