Schwerpunkte unserer wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten sind verschiedene Aspekte der Anpassung von Pflanzen an kurzzeitig auftretende Umweltveränderungen insbesondere abiotische Stressfaktoren.
Unter anderem untersuchen wir die molekularen Grundlagen Ca2+-abhängiger Signalwege sowie die Rolle von Ca2+, ROS und Pflanzenhormonen im abiotischen Stress.
Unsere Forschungsobjekte sind neben der Modellpflanze Arabidopsis thaliana auch die wichtigen Nutzpflanzen Gerste und Kartoffel.

Congratulations again to Sabarna and Fatima on the publication of their work on the impact of calcium signaling on the transcriptomics response to oxidative stress in barley (https://lnkd.in/e5nBthqn).

Congratulations to Annelotte and our former Post-Doc Andras as well as our collaborators Roland (Durham University) and Sophia (FAU Erlangen) for their nice work on stress induced Ca2+ transients in potato as part of the EU H2O20 project ADAPT.

Congratulations to Sabarna, Maya and Fatima. Their collaborative work with the Peiter group from the University of Halle on H2O2 mediated transcriptional changes in barley is now published.

New publication from our long-time collaboration with Ildiko and Lorella from the University of Padua.
