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.
