Research Portfolios
Chemical Ecology
Chemical signals involved in plant-insect interactions
Prof. Dr. Ted Turlings, BeNeFri, University of Neuchâtel, Institute of Biology
Plants under attack by herbivores initiate the production and release of volatiles that are attractive to the natural...
Chloroplasts and Photosynthesis
Discovering how chloroplasts are made
Prof. Dr. Felix Kessler, BeNeFri, University of Neuchâtel, Institute of Biology
The chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis in plants. Most of the chloroplast proteins must be imported from the...
