Prof. Dr. Thomas Dresselhaus

  • Important information: We are studying gene regulatory networks during plant germline and seed development, fertilization mechanisms, also under environmental stress.

Prof. Dr. Klaus Grasser

  • Important information: We study how RNAPII transcript elongation and co-transcriptional processes in the chromatin context impact development and stress responses in plants

Prof. Dr. Aline Koch

  • Important information: We study how regulatory non-coding and coding RNAs can be used as "sprayable RNAs" to improve the agricultural value of crops

Successor Poschlod

  • Important information: The chair for plant ecology is currently vacant after the retirement of Prof. Dr. Peter Poschlod. Connected to the chair is also the botanical garden, the Seedbank Regensburg (SBR) and the collections of the Regensburg Botanical Society (RBG).

Prof. Dr. Christoph Reisch

  • Important information: Molecular Ecology and Conservation Genetics
    Genetic variation is essential for plant evolution and conservation. We analyse the mechanisms that generate genetic variation and investigate how much variation is required for the long-term protection of endangered plant species

Dr. Timo Schlemmer

  • Important information: Our research focus is dedicated to the development and production of innovative RNA-based crop protection agents based on circular RNAs. Our goal is to develop sustainable alternatives to chemically synthetic pesticides and to bring them to market in the future.
