Institution
Section overview
Description
The Institute of Plant Breeding, Seed Science and Population Genetics of the University of Hohenheim is a leader in research and teaching, both nationally and internationally. Openness for reforms, practical orientation, scientific progress as well as co-operations with renowned companies and research institutions on national and international levels are the outcome of a strategy that has been pursued consequently since the Institute's founding days.
