Perspectives for Application of Results

With respect to the translation of research results into application, CEPLAS provides a variety of perspectives:

• Molecular breeding and engineering of crop plants with features in development and architecture adapted to changing environmental conditions and goals for usage
• Molecular breeding and engineering of crop plants with improved abiotic stress tolerance and nutrient use efficiency
• Molecular breeding and engineering of crop plants with improved disease resistance
• Development of biologicals for plant protection and plant nutrition, based on the understanding of functional interrelationships between microbial communities, crop plants and environmental factors
• Development of innovative components for plant protection and plant nutrition by high-throughput diagnostics with novel test systems
• Development of molecular modules for the design of plant traits and for the synthesis of high-value compounds in plant systems (synthetic biology)
• IT-based modelling of plant traits and their dependance on environmental impacts, on the basis of comprehensive functional biological data
• Development of predictive precision breeding predictive precision measures for protection of environment
