We explore questions at the interface between plant ecology, genetics and evolution and study the biodiversity and systematics of plants and fungi.
We teach courses to students in Environmental Sciences, Biology, Agricultural Sciences, Food Sciences and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
We study the genomic basis of altitudinal adaptation in alpine carnations
We take care of major collections of plants and fungi
We perform a pilot study for a genetic diversity monitoring in Switzerland
We study evolutionary processes in plants and host the scientific collections (herbaria) of plants and fungi at ETH Zurich.
The Plant Ecological Genetics group was formerly part of the Geobotanical Institute and is supported by the Stiftung Rübel.
