Research Project Advances on Root-Soil Interactions

What it is about

You work on current research projects concerning physiological root–soil interactions. In the end you will be able to apply modern methods of biophysical plant physiology, plan and conduct experiments, and scientifically evaluate and present results.

What you will be able to do

• In-depth knowledge of root–soil interactions
• Application of modern working methods of biophysical plant physiology
• Planning and execution of laboratory, greenhouse or field experiments
• Analysis, interpretation and contextualization of experimental results
• Experience in organizing experiment execution and data analysis
• Experience with different crop plants and model plants (e.g., Arabidopsis)

What the module consists of

• Praktikum / ForschungsprojektYou work on ongoing projects of the chair under supervision, practice laboratory and plant physiological techniques, and prepare protocols
• Self-study / Literature workStudy of technical literature for preparation and contextualization of the experiments
• Presentation / Written elaborationDocumentation and presentation of the results

Teaching method

• Practical work in a research contextEnables application and deepening of experimental techniques directly on projects
• Supervision by scientistsEnsures professional guidance and involvement in current questions
• Study of technical literatureSupports theoretical grounding and discussion of the experimental results
