Nutrition quality regulation and assessment on Chinese selenium hyperaccumulating plant during planting and fermentation processing
Selenium (Se) is one of the important trace elements needed for maintaining human health, especially for anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and immune effects. Read more
Investigation of a Novel Regulator of Plant Yield and Fitness in Plants
Autophagy is an incredibly important and highly conserved process across eukaryotes and involves the regulated destruction of unnecessary or damaged components within the cell. Read more
PhD Position in Plant Pathology - Resistance to necrotrophic fungi of the family Sclerotiniaceae
Plant diseases caused by fungi belonging to the family sclerotiniaceae affect over 500 different plant species including grape, strawberry and bean. Read more
Stress responses in crops and sustainable production of chemicals and biomass
The project aims at elucidating several aspects of the control of plant stress responses to identify environmentally friendly forms of plant protectants and phytopharmaceuticals, leading to enhanced crop yields and solutions for animals and human health. Read more
MSc by Research: Genetic interactions and novel genes that regulate lignin biosynthesis and straw quality in barley
Lignin is a major component of plant cell walls, and has a significant influence on the digestibility and uses of plant biomass. The lignin biosynthesis pathway has been one of the most intensively studied plant metabolic pathways over the past two decades. Read more
Understanding the dynamics of the plant protein Light Harvesting Complex II using molecular dynamics simulations and fluorescence experiments
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
The plant protein Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) allows efficient absorption of solar energy and is essential for photosynthesis. Read more
MSc by Research: Hunting for Veghog – characterising the plant homologue of the Hedgehog O-acyl transferase
We recently identified a plant homologue of the mammalian membrane bound O-acyl transferase family that includes Hedgehog acyl-transferase (Hhat), GOAT and Porcupine. Read more
Functional analysis of drought tolerance promoting endophytes in the growth zone of maize leaves
Research project . In addition to the growth promoting interactions between the soil microbiome and plants there is growing evidence that areal plant tissues have their own microbiome of endophytes. Read more
Bioenergy, materials and cell wall synthesis and degradation in plants
Plant cells produce an extracellular matrix, the cell wall, that determines and maintains the shape of cells and serves a protective barrier. Read more
CO2 perception and responses in plants – building new connections
Land plants must constantly adjust and adapt to their environment. Environmental fluctuations often culminate in stress for plant growth, disrupt carbon and water balance, and affect crop productivity and fresh-water use. Read more
International PhD Program in Molecular Life Sciences
The Vienna BioCenter is a leading life science location in Europe. a thriving campus that combines basic research, universities and biotech companies. Read more
Investigating Pmk1-dependent effector protein function in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae (TALBOT_S22HALPIN)
Rice blast disease is a major constraint on world rice production and there is an urgent need for more effective and durable control strategies, particularly in the rice-growing nations most affected. Read more
PhD study in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Molecular Biology, and Biotechnology
The PhD programme lasts for 8 semesters and the number of ECTS credits assigned to the programme is at least 40. The programme offers courses developing professional and didactic skills as well as general knowledge. Read more
The anti-cancer activity of Croton fishlockii used as a medicinal plant in traditional herbal medicines.
Within the sphere of cancer chemotherapy, many commercialised drugs have been obtained by the synthesis of new compounds, from natural sources or by structural modification of natural products. Read more
