Molecular plant biology has long been a research focus at Tübingen University. The Center for Plant Molecular Biology (ZMBP) was established as a basic research institution in 1999. Its mission is to reveal molecular mechanisms that ensure the survival of plants as complex multicellular organisms.
The ZMBP builds on expertise in genetics, cell and developmental biology, biochemistry, plant physiology, cellular nanoscience and microbiome research. Key areas of research are plant-microbe interactions, developmental and cellular sorting processes as well as response and adaption to changing environmental conditions.
