The objective is to solve genetic questions on seed quality of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). For this purpose, mainly methods from the biotechnological and the quality-analytical tool box are used and further refined.
Current projects:
Flowering time, oilseed rape (DFG project within SPP1530; Eva Heinrich)
- Improving winter hardiness in winter oilseed rape (Jan-Christoph Richter )
- Oil, oil quality and fiber in oilseed rape (Abdusaheed Olabisi Yusuf)
- Rapeseed as a domestic protein source of excellent quality for human consumption (RaPEQ; Nils Stolte)
- Rapeseed as a domestic protein source of excellent quality for human consumption, phase 2 (RaPEQ2; Jasmin Vettel>)
- Breeding of oilseed rape with reduced fibre content (LoFiRaps; Karin Holzenkamp>)
- Improving winter hardiness in winter oilseed rape (Jan-Christoph Richter )
