Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Jander is an internationally recognized expert in the field of chemical ecology. He has pioneered the synergistic application of quantitative genetics, metabolite profiling and insect behavior assays to identify novel plant genes and small molecules that contribute to natural variation in herbivore resistance. During his stay in Germany, he will investigate the intricacies of plant defense signaling networks through inactivation of gene families by site-directed mutagenesis and quantification of resulting changes in the herbivory-induced metabolome. |
