Our Group & Teams
Our Group
Our group Molecular Genetics is interested in plant RNA binding proteins and their role in the regulation of chloroplast RNA stability and translation. A dedicated group of plant biologists under the guidance of Julia Legen are trying to wrestle the secrets from a mysterious family of chloroplast RRM proteins. A separate group, lead by Sabrina Tetzlaff, tries to understand how the tiny mitochondrial genome of Apicomplexans is expressed. Finally, a team around Christian Schmitz-Linneweber is exploring the function of cold-dependent phase-separation of plant organellar RNA binding proteins for the production of the photosynthetic machinery.
