research activities in the frame of the coffee project “Development of in vitro mutation/screening
methods to identify disease resistant genotypes of Coffee
”. Hosted by Dr. Ivan Ingelbrecht (Head lab) a valuable interaction was made possible with Dr. Norman Warthmann in the field of molecular genetics,
with Dr. Joanna Jankowicz-Cieslak in the field of mutation induction and with
Mag. Florian Goessnitzer in the field of plant tissue culture.
