The group’s research activities concentrate on the potato (Solanum tuberosum), which is the worldwide most important crop species of the Solanaceae family comprising more than 3000 species. [more]
The Plant Adaptive Genomics and Genetics group focuses on the application of modern genetic and bioinformatic techniques to study plant natural variation, evolution and domestication. [more]
We study traits that we expect are relevant for adaptation in nature, such as seed dormancy, flowering time, growth and tolerance to abiotic stress in collaboration with other groups in the department of Plant Breeding and Genetics. [more]
Our goal is to understand molecular basis of DNA repair and inactivation of repetitive DNA. To this end we use model species Arabidopsis thaliana and several other Brassicaceae[more]
We have focused our attention on the mechanisms controlling the initiation of lateral meristems. Our studies started with the characterization of two tomato mutants, lateral suppressor (ls) and blind (bl)[more]
