Research
Although research interests at the CMPG are diverse in terms of experimental systems, and consequently potential applications, our main objective is the understanding of a selected number of biological processes that contribute to sustainable development.
The strategy thereby employed usually starts with a molecular approach, that is the isolation and characterization of candidate genes and/or proteins, followed by studying the effects of recombinant constructs at the cellular level.
As a third level, the biological system under study is evaluated in its natural conditions. Evidently, the most powerful methodologies available for each level are used. When required, specifically adapted technology is being developed at the CMPG. The deliberate use of different experimental systems at the CMPG very much supports our aim to explore comparative genetics and to be engaged in networking with research groups worldwide.
Specific research themes within any of the selected biological systems can be looked at in detail when clicking on the name of each of the seven subgroups at the CMPG: Associative Interactions, Bioinformatics, Genetics and Genomics, Plant Fungi Interactions, Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and Biodegradation, Salmonella and Probiotics, Symbiotic and Pathogenic Interactions.
