Research topics for Honours and PhD projects:
Research topics in the area of disease resistance and quality attributes in wheat, barley, oats and pasture legumes are available. Dependent on the project, approaches include a wide range of molecular techniques (e.g. gene cloning, PCR, quantitative real-time RT-PCR, molecular marker development, bioinformatics) and biological analysis (microscopy, physiological and biochemical analysis).
Students interested in molecular agricultural research are welcome to contact Klaus Oldach on 08 83039734.
