| Kurzbeschreibung | Laboratory course. Research projects in the area of plant microbiomes are conducted in small teams. They address current topics related to plant microbiomes, including microbial community assembly, microbial interactions, plant protection and plant immunity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Introduction to relevant subjects of the biology of plant-associated microorganisms. Training in practical work in a research laboratory. Exposure to current research topics in the field of plant microbiomes. Scientific writing in form of a research report. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Research project in plant microbiomes. The techniques used will depend on the project, e.g. PCR, cloning, microbial community analysis via next-generation sequencing, plant inoculation experiments, phenotypic analyses, fluorescence microscopy, gene expression, metabolomics, bioinformatics | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | none | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
