A collaboration between US and German researchers has revealed the surprising identity of a plant factor responsible for susceptibility to fungal disease in the USA’s top barley-growing region. Their study is published in the journal New Phytologist.
 

Researchers of the MPIPZ have developed a technique that enables the breeding of genetically identical hybrid plants

Researchers describe the unusual trait of amphicarpy, where two types of fruit develop on the same plant: one above- and the other below-ground.

Together with our University partners in Cologne and Düsseldorf we train about 90 mostly international doctoral students and are inviting talented young researchers to apply for individual open positions and to our structured IMPRS programme.

Since 2019, all MPIPZ postdocs take part of a Career Development Program. This program aims to support them success in their careers.
