At the Dies Academicus Dr. Caroline Marcon will give her inaugural lecture on: "Natürliche biologische Mutagene schaffen neuartige Maismutanten".

Plant Science Colloquium with Prof. Dr. John McKay on "Genetics of adaptation to variable environments in crops and natural populations”.

Caroline Marcon successfully passed her habilitation colloquium with a presentation on how plant leaves get their form.

The Habilitation Colloquium will take place on Wednesday, Wednesday, April 12th 2023, at 12 o'clock in the Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen Lecture Hall, Katzenburgweg 7.

Li worked in her project on the molecular analysis of the root setpoint angle in barley.

Marcel Baer worked during his PhD program on the cloning and functional characterization of the lrt1 gene, which controls lateral root formation in maize.

Marcel Baer and Graziana Taramino et al. published a paper on cloning and characterization of the maize lrt1 gene: Maize lateral rootless 1 encodes a homolog of the DCAF protein subunit of the CUL4-based E3 ubiquitin ligase complex
