Research interests: "About Gerhard Leubner"

Want to do a postdoc or PhD work in my group in London? We are a motivated group of young scientists with interest in basic and applied resrarch in seed biology. Explore this website for molecular mechanisms of seed germination and dormancy aas well es for our projects with seed industry. Just contact me by email about possibilities.

During 2012 my group is located at two places: Royal Holloway, University of London, UK (RHUL) and University of Freiburg, Germany (F). Dr. Ada Linkies is leading our group in Freiburg.

Dipl.-Biol. Kai Gräber
PhD student and research assistant (RHUL/F)
DFG project Brassicaceae seed dormancy

Email: kai.graeber@biologie.uni-freiburg.de
Phone: ++49-761-203-2669 (office AG Leubner)
Phone: ++49-761-203-2808 (lab)

Research interests: My interest is seed dormancy. Real-time RT-PCR, RT-PCR cloning, other RNA techniques and germination time courses are methods that I often perform. The effects of plant hormones on endosperm rupture of mutant seeds can provide interesting results.
