The main impacts
In analogy to electronic data processing, we will develop mathematical models for the long-distance transport of communication molecules in plants. Integrating the cell biology of active genes with protein and RNA structures within the framework of information theory will be an indispensable component of success.
In addition to the scientific work, the team has planned a series of activities to bring the research topic to the public's attention. Main target groups of such communication activities are pupils, the general public, plant breeders, agriculture, politicians and, of course, other scientists.
