Virtual Plant

In "Virtual Plant" it’s all about the elucidation to the adaptation of plants to stresses affecting yield and productivity.

Projects:

  • Modeling an ecological network of plant-insect dynamics in the context of volatile plant metabolite profiles
    Plants are at the basis of most terrestrial food webs and they are exposed to a multitude of insect species at different trophic levels. Plants appear...
  • Modelling flowering time regulatory networks
    Proper regulation of flowering time is essential for plant adaptation to the environment and to ensure optimal yield. A key environmental signal that...
  • Modelling rice adaptation to drought stress
    Drought is a complex stress for crops. They react with changes in photosynthesis, morphology (e.g. root size and leaf thickness) and other crop...
  • Modeling of multicellular feedback loops in plant stem cells
    Stem cells are crucial to growth and architecture of plants. Our group has discovered a major gene regulatory network involved in the positioning and...
  • Finding the Holy Grail in production ecology
    Society has expressed strong interest in a bio-based economy. This requires high-yielding crops that efficiently use nutrients and water and are...
  • Systems biology of sink strength
    Knowledge and understanding of plant physiology and genetics is rapidly moving forward. However integration of these advances with the extensive...
