We have several molecular biology projects running in our lab.
1) Determinantion of molecular markers of drought resistance in Barley. Up to now we studied the presence of the
Hsdr4 gene
in drought resistant and vulnerable barley. The next question we are
targeting, and which was supported by an Eötvös
Loránd Student Grant (TÁMOP 4.2.4.A/2-11-1-2012-0001) for Ildikó
Schmidthoffer Msc student, is the expression of this gene upon
stress. We are using
quantitative
PCR method to answer this question.
