Beschreibung

The Quantitative Genetics (QG) group researches genes and gene networks, that are responsible for the expression of agronomic traits. To this end, innovative methods in the field of statistical genomics are being developed. The starting material for the studies is formed by different plant populations. These are examined using modern genomic methods and their agronomic properties are evaluated in extensive field trials. The aim of the work is to predict the phenotypic variation of crop plants.
