WZW - Professur für Populationsgenetik

We are interested in theoretical and empirical population genetics. Our aim is to understand the role of natural selection and random processes in the evolution of plant species. We focus particularly on the consequences of plant-parasite coevolution and seed banking on genome evolution, using as a model system several closely related wild tomato species. We also work study the interactions between natural selection and genomic architecture in maize.
