Wir suchen - insbesondere für Diplomarbeiten - motivierte studentische Mitarbeiter/innen mit Interesse an molekularer Samenphysiologie und Saatgutforschung. Wir können in Grundlagenprojekten, Projekten mit Saatgutfirmen und in der Kursbetreuung des "Praktikums Pflanzenphysiologie" Verstärkung gebrauchen. Bei Interesse kommen Sie einfach bei mir vorbei oder schreiben ein Email.

Dipl.-Biol. Kai Gräber
PhD student and research assistant
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.
