Molecular Plant Pathology ist eine der weltweit führenden Fachzeitschriften in Bereich der Phytopathology. 

Folgende Informationen wurden der Home-page des Journals entnommen. Die frei verfügbaren Daten bieten einen exzellenten und top-aktuellen Überblick in unser  Forschungsfeld und unterstreichen nachdrücklich die Wichtigkeit unserer Forschungsobjekte. So wird als als Nr. 1 der wichtigsten Pflanzenpathogene   Magnaporthe oryzae geführt, ein Pilz den wir seit Jahren intensiv bearbeiten. 

The Top 10 Fungal Pathogens in Molecular Plant Pathology

 

Molecular Plant Pathology published recently an excellent review on the scientific and economic impact of plant fungal pathogens? The download is for free and is an ideal article for both research and teaching purposes.

More than 100 down-loads during March 2012 and near to 2000 down-loads in total !

It seems that our recently published book chapter attracts a lot of attention.

In Mar 2010 the Institute of Plant Physiology (Bio III) participated in the working-group meeting "Host-Parasite-Interactions" of the German Phytopathological Society at Konstanz. PhD-students from the RiBa-lab and the Conrath-lab contributed to a successful conference with six oral presentations. A honary lecture was given by Prof. Kurt Mendgen on the occasion of his retirement. Prof. Conrath, as the current leader of the working-group, deeply acknowledged Prof. Mendgen´s scientific contribution to the investigation of rust fungi and his engagement as former leader of the working-group.
 
In Oct 2009 Dr. Schaffrath was invited by the Organizing Commitee of the 7th Hangzhou International Symposium on Plant Pathology and Biotechnology to give a presentation of RiBa-Lab ongoing work. Many thanks to Prof. Dongwei Hu, Biotechnology Institute, Zhejiang University for perfect organisation of my visit and scientific collaboration.
 
Science published a Special Issue on
Food security on 12 Feb 2010


Highlighted in „Armed and Dangerous“ the editors identified
the most serious biological threats; two of which are in the
Research Focus of the RiBa-Lab:
  • rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae
  • Asian Soybean Rust caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi

Eingebettet in das BMBF-Rahmenprogramm "Nationale Forschungsstrategie BioÖkonomie 2030" wird das RiBa-Lab im Rahmen der Förderaktivität "Pflanzenbiotechnologie der Zukunft" in folgendem Verbundprojekt gefördert:

Gezielte Nutzung von Genen der basalen Abwehr für Pathogenresistanz in Gerste (BARLEY-FORTRESS)

 

BARLEY-fortress is an international research consortium for the targeted exploitation of basal defense genes in barley with the aim to introgress and engineer broad and durable pathogen resistance into this major crop.

 

 

 

The RiBa-Lab is part of the TRINONHOST consortium in a project funded by the European Research Area Plant Genomics.

The ERA-PG has the ambition to further structure the plant genomics scientific and technological programmes in Europe. The particular aim of TRINONHOST is to evaluate the potential of nonhost resistance by doing a global, differential gene-expression analysis, comparing compatible host and nonhost interactions which will allow the identification of common, plant species-specific and pathogen species-specific pathways involved in nonhost resistance in wheat and barley. The outputs from this project will provide a new level of understanding of the fundamental inner workings of the biology of nonhost resistance in cereals that will provide the European plant breeding industry with the knowledge and tools required to achieve sustainable resistance to major pathogens.

The RiBa-Lab was part of the EURICE consortium in a project funded by the 5th EU-framework.

 

The general aim of this project was to improve and evaluate the use of potential anti-fungal genes in controlling rice blast disease and stem rots in Europe where they represent the most important and widespread diseases. This approach aimed to improve our knowledge on the use of resistance genes to tailor new rice cultivars enhanced in resistance, for stable and reliable use of transgene technology in wider programmes for rice crop protection.

dissemination work


Das  Rice-Barley-Lab beteiligt sich regelmäßig an Informationsveranstaltungen für Schülerinnen und Schüler im Vorfeld der Studienentscheidung.

MINT-Bio-Camp 2009: Im Frühjahr 2009 fand zum ersten Mal an der RWTH Aachen in Zusammenarbeit mit dem MINT-EC Verein (Verein Mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlicher Excellence-Center an Schulen e.V.) ein Bio-Camp für Schülerinnen und Schüler aus dem gesamten Bundesgebiet statt.

RWTH-Schüler-Uni 2009: Im Sommer 2009 fand dann für die Schulen des Aachener Umlandes zum ersten Mal eine Schüler-Uni statt. Hiermit soll interessierten Schülerinnen und Schüler die Möglichkeit geboten werden sich einen Einblick von den Studienmöglichkeiten an der RWTH Aachen zu schaffen.
Die Schüler-Uni wird auch in den Sommerferien 2010 wieder stattfinden.
