Welcome to the Department of Plant Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology!
 |  | |
| Reproduction, Stem Cells and Stress | ||
| We research plant germlines and stem cells, fertilization mechanisms, early seed development as well as reproduction during environmental stress. | ||
 | ||
 | Prof. Dr. Klaus Grasser |  |
| Chromatin, gene expression and development | ||
| We study how transcript elongation and co-transcriptional processes in the chromatin context modulate plant developmental responses. | ||
| ||
 | Prof. Dr. Stefanie Sprunck |  |
| Gamete Interaction and Cell Polarity | ||
| Using isolated gametes of wheat, maize and Arabidopsis we investigate how male and female gametes interact with each other during double fertilization. The molecular mechanisms of tip-growth are studied in pollen tubes and root hairs. | ||
| ||
| ||
 |  | |
| Male Flower Development | ||
| We aim to identify and study factors involved in male flower development and its impact on interaction with the biotrophic pathogen Ustilago maydis. | ||
