With our research, we aim to uncover valuable trait variants like resistance against pathogens, drought tolerance, new growth types, grain quality and many more in so far unused plant genetic resource

One of our research goals is the analysis of heritable traits of plant genetic resources and their sustainable conservation and utilization. Based on analysis at the DNA level we gather information on
