SFB 924: Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Yield and Yield Stability in Plants

未来的可持续粮食生产将需要不同学科的投入，包括分子植物生物学、植物育种、植物生物技术和农业。深入了解植物生长和繁殖、生产力和环境稳定性的分子机制将有助于精确作物育种的有针对性的进展，并使知识从模式植物转移到作物或作物之间。SFB924旨在通过阐明调节产量和产量稳定性的分子机制，为未来的作物生产做出重大贡献。该联盟汇集了来自不同领域的植物生物学专家，他们来自明兴理工学院的Wisenschaftszentum Wehenstephan、路德维希-马克西米利安-明兴大学、雷根斯堡大学和赫姆霍茨中心(HMGU)。他们使用高通量技术，包括基因组学、蛋白质组学和代谢组学，并辅之以生物信息学、细胞成像和基因组编辑，以研究调控生殖成功的过程以及产量形成的数量和质量方面(产量调节)。第二个项目领域集中于控制植物与其非生物和生物环境(产量稳定性)相互作用的分子机制。

Future sustainable food production will require inputs from various disciplines including molecular plant biology, plant breeding, plant biotechnology and agriculture. A deeper understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying plant growth and reproduction, productivity and environmental stability will aid targeted progress in precision crop breeding and allow the transfer of knowledge from model plants to crop plants or between crops.The SFB924 aims to make a significant contribution to future crop production by elucidating molecular mechanisms regulating yield and yield stability. The consortium brings together experts from different fields of plant biology from the Wissenschaftszentrum Weihenstephan of the Technische Universität München, the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, the Universität Regensburg and the Helmholtz Zentrum München für Gesundheit und Umwelt (HMGU). They use high throughput technologies including genomics, proteomics and metabolomics supported by bioinformatics, cellular imaging and genome editing to investigate processes regulating reproductive success as well as quantitative and qualitative aspects of yield formation (yield regulation). A second project area concentrates on the molecular mechanisms governing the interactions of plants with their abiotic and biotic environment (yield stability).
