At the TPB group we work in the field of translational plant biology. Translational here refers to the translation of scientific knowledge into application; in our case, from fundamental research on plants to application in crop breeding.

In our group we work on diverse topics to improve future crops including plant architecture, disease resistance and susceptibility, epigenetics and pest insects.
