Forschungsschwerpunkte

Unsere Arbeitsgruppe arbeitet an Membrantransport-Systemen für die Aufnahme von Eisen und den Export von Fettsäuren über die Hüllmembranen des Chloroplasten.

Obwohl die Integration dieser Transporter im pflanzlichen Stoffwechsel im Allgemeinen recht gut beschrieben ist, ist über die genaue molekulare Funktionsweise noch sehr wenig bekannt. Die Korrelation von Struktur und Funktion der Transporter ist neuartig und ermöglicht daher die Beschreibung von pflanzenspezifischen sowie generellen Eigenschaften intrazellulärer Transportwege.
Dabei richten wir unseren Fokus auf die Aufklärung der pflanzenphysiologischen Rolle, sowie die detaillierte funktionelle Charakterisierung der entsprechenden Transporter.
Die Studien werden an der Modellpflanze Arabidopsis thaliana sowie an Tabak- und Erbsenpflanzen durchgeführt.
