Professorship for Utilization of plant genetic resources for breeding purposes

Welcome
on the website of the professorship for Utilization of plant genetic resources for breeding purposes!

In teaching and research, the professorship deals with the question of how the efficiency of breeding programs can be increased.

The professorship is linked to the management of the Institute for Breeding Research on Agricultural Crops in Groß Lüsewitz.

Images of grains of parental inbred lines from 45 splitting populations forming the Hordeum vulgare "Double Round Robin Population". The white scale bar indicates a length of 10 mm.

This figure illustrates the natural variation for agronomically relevant traits whose genetic basis we want to understand.
