The Division of Plant Physiology explores cellular structures and functions and analyses molecular biosynthetic pathways of cell wall polymers related to growth and development. Arabidopsis and different algae such as Desmidiaceae, Diatomeae and Characeae are used as model systems. The technical equipment includes light-, confocal laser scanning- and electron microscopy as well as instrumentation for modern biochemical and molecular methods.
