Die 33. Tagung Molecular Biology of Plants unserer Sektion fand vom 11. bis 14. Februar 2020 in Dabringhausen im Bergischen Land statt. Organisator Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Hell berichtet über die Themenschwerpunkte der von Deutschen Botanischen Gesellschaft (DBG) und Gesellschaft für Biochemie und Molekularbiologie (GBM) geförderten Tagung und nennt die ausgezeichneten Preisträger*innen der Reinhold von Sengbusch Poster- und Vortragspreise.

Zum Tagungsbericht in den Actualia der DBG:

Elena Lesch (Bonn): Function and evolution of mitochondrial C‐to‐U RNA editing factor PPR78 elucidated with recombinant approaches in Physcomitrella patens and Escherichia coli

Rabea Meyberg (Marburg): Characterization of evolutionarily conserved key players affecting eukaryotic flagellar motility and fertility using a moss model

Christina Martins Rodriguez (Kaiserslautern): Chilling lessons: Teaching the sugar beet how to cope with cold

Alexander Beesley (Aachen): Engineering coumarin biosynthesis providing disease resistance in crops
