A video about the collaboration between IPK Leibniz-Institut and the Gymnasium in Ballenstedt, where I‘m involved in the lectures for the 10th and 12th classes.
Seit Jahren kooperiert das @leibnizipk.bsky.social
mit dem Wolterstorff-Gymnasium in Ballenstedt. Wie die Zusammenarbeit läuft, zeigt Wenke Dargel, Volontärin der Pressestelle der @unihalle.bsky.social, in einem Video. Produziert hat sie es bei ihrer Station am IPK.

Genome-wide characterization of two-component system elements in barley enables the identification of grain-specific phosphorelay genes - BMC Plant Biology
Background The two-component system (TCS) serves as a common intracellular signal transduction pathway implicated in various processes of plant development and response to abiotic stress. With regard ...

Today I gave a lecture for school students of the 12. class at the Wolterstorff-Gymnasium in Ballenstedt about genome editing in crops. It was very nice to go back to the old school of my grandfather.

Shedding New Light on the Hull-Pericarp Adhesion Mechanisms of Barley Grains by Transcriptomics Analysis of Isogenic NUD1 and nud1 Lines
In barley having adherent hulls, an irreversible connection between the pericarp with both palea and lemma is formed during grain maturation. A mutation in the NUDUM 1 (NUD1) gene prevents this connec...
