Schnurbusch, Thorsten  PhD

Leading researcher with 100 publications in the last 25 years
The main focus of my lab’s research has been on the genetic elucidation of genes underlying inflorescence development in small grain cereals, e.g. spike-branching as well as spikelet/floret development and fertility important for yield formation. Our molecular-genetic and developmental analyses of an important yield component—i.e. final grain number—are currently under study in barley and wheat. Since 2008 I have been heading the research group Plant Architecture at the Leibniz-Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) in Gatersleben. The IPK is an internationally leading center for fundamental and applied research in areas with special emphasis on crop plants. Prior to my position at the IPK, I had been leading a research group on drought tolerance of cereals at the Australian Center for Plant Functional Genomics (ACPFG) in Adelaide, Australia, which was under the direction of Prof. Peter Langridge. I habilitated in Plant Breeding and Genetics (2014, with Prof. Klaus Pillen, MLU Halle-Wittenberg, Germany), received my PhD in Plant Molecular Genetics (2003, with Prof. Beat Keller, University of Zurich, Switzerland), and studied Agriculture (1998, major in Plant Breeding, with Prof. Heiko Becker, University of Göttingen, Germany). show More
