With the major aim of identifying factors controlling plant performance characteristics, two complementary research areas are addressed within the group:
- Genetic/genomic approaches are followed to identify growth and metabolism controlling factors of vegetative development (addressing mainly Arabidopsis and maize). Major emphasis is given to the discovery of genetic and biological markers for the prediction of (vegetative) biomass accumulation and to the identifi cation of loci contributing to heterosis
and
- Lipid metabolism of oil storing seeds is investigated using topographical biochemical, biophysical, and molecular analysis procedures (mainly applied to oilseed rape) to uncover determinants and limiting factors of oil yield.
