In the Geuten Lab we use biochemical and genetic techniques to find leads for improvement of cereal crops. We use the model system Brachypodium, related to the cereals, to understand how grasses interact with their biotic and abiotic environment. The lab also creates a learning environment for postdocs, PhD students, Master and Bachelor students. The Geuten lab is part of the Department of Biology at the University of Leuven (KULeuven), Belgium.
