Tasks

• Development of biobased products (eg plant protection agents) from plant extracts
• Analysis of bioactive compounds from wild plants and crops with respect to resistance and quality
• Screening of accessions from gene-banks and other plant collections for resistance traits and identification of compounds as marker for resistance
• Effect of abiotic and biotic (eg diversity, competition, infestation) parameters on compounds that determine resistance and quality in wild plants and crops
• Function of biologically active compounds in multitrophic interactions and agricultural ecosystems
