Our 2025 maize seeds are in the ground!
We were able to plant our maize field at the University of Bonn's experimental station on May 7, 2025. Thanks to all who helped!
PhD POSITION IN PLANT GENOMICS
The Crop Functional Genomics group of Frank Hochholdinger at the University of Bonn offers a PhD POSITION IN PLANT GENOMICS (Three years, 65% TV-L E13). Goal of this DFG-funded project is to understand the genetic and molecular basis of the systemic modulation of maize (Zea mays L.) root system architecture by seminal roots to better adapt to drought.
