Welcome to the Plant-Microbial Interaction Department!
Our group is a subdivision of the Botanical Institute located at the West-Uni of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. We share the infrastructure with two Departments (Microbiology and Genetics) of the Institute for Applied Biosciences founded 01.01.2005. The research focus of our group is the molecular understanding of the interaction between microorganisms, particularly fungi, and plants.
Helber et al., (2011) A versatile monosaccharide transporter that operates in the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus sp. is crucial for the symbiotic relationship with plants, Plant Cell (doi: 10.1105/tpc.111.089813)
Our article was evaluated in Faculty of 1000 as a Must Read (8)
