• Lehrstuhl Pflanzenökologie - Bayreuth

  Plant biophysics is studied. The focus is on water relations and on the regulation of water flow in plants.

Most of the concepts used for a quantitative analysis of transport are derived from irreversible thermodynamics. They provide appropriate and useful tools to also integrate couplings between flows of water and nutrients as they move across a complex structure such as a plant. Results are summarized in physical and mathematical models which are tested experimentally. At the cell level, we are interested in the function (permeability, selectivity) of water channels (aquaporins) which provide most of the water flow across the membranes of living cells.

• E-Nema (E-Nema) - RAISDORF

  How it started The first successful attempt to produce nematodes in liquid culture was accomplished in 1989 by the department of Biotechnology and Biological Control headed by Dr. Ralf-Udo Ehlers, at the Univesity of Kiel. Projects with several industrial partners followed and in 1993, the first pilot production plant was built supported by the Technological Fundng Office of Schleswig-Holstein, the northernmost region of Germany. Despite this success, further development and commercial exploitation of these nematodes was almost halted, when the last industrial partner from the USA suddenly withdrew from the project, thus jeopardizing financial support. Foundation In order to pursue the industrial production of insect-pathogenic nematodes, e~nema GmbH was founded in early 1997. The three shareholders, Dr. Ralf-Udo Ehlers, Tillmann Frank and Dr. Arne Peters could then lease the pilot plant from the University of Kiel. In close vicinity to the Institute for Phytopathology in Raisdorf/Kiel, the production and the distribution of new products for biological control began the same year.

• Max Planck Institut - Munich

  Max Planck Institutes carry on basic research in service to the general public in the areas of natural science, social science and the arts and humanities. In particular, the Max Planck Society takes up new and promising directions in research that the universities are still able to accommodate insufficiently, if at all. The reasons for this are either due to the fact that the interdisciplinary character of such research cannot fit into the universities organisational framework or because the costs for personnel and facilities that it demands are beyond the universities means. Max Planck Institutes, therefore, complement the work of the universities in important fields of research.
