BonnMu – a mutant collection for functional genetics in maize

(DNA-fragment in red, on the left) inside of a photosynthetic gene (DNA-fragment in green, on the left) could have an impact e.g., on the leaf color of young maize seedlings. The lacking chlorophyll in the leaves of mutated seedlings leads to their white appearance (albinism, left side of the photograph). In contrast, wild-type siblings still synthesize chlorophyll and have green leaves (right side of the photograph). (c) Caroline Marcon/Uni Bonn

Researchers at the University of Bonn have developed the BonnMu resource, a collection of mutants in maize, which is now publicly available for functional genetic analyses. This study has been published in „Plant Physiology“.

Watching changes in plant metabolism – live

with the fluorescent biosensor in its cells. The false colour image shows the redox status of the NAD pool in the cells and tissue. Rainbow scale from blue (oxidized NAD pool) to red (reduced NAD pool).

Researchers use a new method of in vivo biosensor technology. The study has been published in the journal "The Plant Cell".

Fresh vegetable consumption in the EU is barely growing. Along with an aging population in Europe, diet-related chronic diseases are on the rise. The recent coronavirus pandemic is emphasizing how important a robust immune system is.
