Hřibová Group

Our group focuses on the structure, organization and evolution of plant genomes. We are using NGS, molecular and cytogenetic approaches and bioinformatic tools to expand the knowledge on genome organization and karyotype evolution in Musaceae. Recently, we are also interested in DNA replication in time and space in Hordeum vulgare and Brachypodium distachyon, related species varying in genome sizes, and analysis of genome organization using super resolution microscopy.

Projects

Banana collection, characterization, and pre-breeding
Leader
Enny Sudarmonowati
The project focuses on seed-based collection of banana progenitors and a validation of new approach to breeding that will be much more efficient than current breeding schemes. The outputs of the project should lead to adoption of a much more efficient banana breeding system for small-scale producers (SSPs) in Sub-Saharan Africa. A possible spillover outcome could be the revamping of other major banana breeding programs that target other regions if desired . . .

Leader
Eva Hřibová Ph.D.
The project will support collaboration of the Institute of Experimental Botany ASCR with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and strengthen the integration of the Czech Republic within the research program of this international nongovernmental organization. The joint research proposed will contribute to a complex analysis of genetic and epigenetic variability of plantains and to identify a set of SNP markers useful for their . . .
