Dr. Lyudmilla Borisjuk

Leibniz-Institut für Pflanzengenetik und Kulturpflanzenforschung (IPK Gatersleben)

Dr. Lyudmilla Borisjuk

Lyudmilla Borisjuk, studied microbiology and biochemistry at the T. Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Kiev, Ukraine), received her PhD in mycology and her qualification as a professor (“habilitation”) in plant physiology at the Leibniz-University Hannover. Her interest in plant biotechnology (Biotech Center, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA) then led her into seed science (IPK Gatersleben, Germany). Since 2016 she has headed the RG Assimilate Allocation and NMR (AAN) at Leibniz-Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK).

Leitmotif

“An observation holds truth, regardless of whether one can explain it or not.”

Activities

Among her achievements is the imaging of metabolic gradients, the discovery of lipid topology in living seeds and the monitoring of an awakening of life by seed germination. A few years ago, Dr. L. Borisjuk established the MRI laboratory at IPK and a newly formed multidisciplinary research team, with a goal to generate an “inside out” view on complex biological processes in seeds, also including seed growth as well as metabolite delivery and storage.

Focus

While her main scientific focus lies in functional-structural relations during seed growth, an essential part of her research is functional imaging and in vivo analytics. Her professional experience focuses particularly on the development and application of new visualization and analytics technologies, allowing the imaging of plant tissues and living plant seeds.

    Illuminating the genome

    The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been making ripples in the scientific community ever since its mechanisms were proposed in 2012. Commonly referred to as a genome editing tool, many scientists have found different applications for the scissor-like properties of the Cas9-protein. Researchers from ... more

    Barley Genome Sequenced

    A ten-nation consortium has reported the first high-quality reference genome sequence of barley, a cereal crop that is used around the world as animal fodder. Moreover, malted barley grains are the raw material for popular beverages such as beer and whiskey. The barley genome was sequenced ... more

    Infrared visualization of sucrose in plants

    Quantitative mapping of metabolite distribution has widespread applications in medicine and biology, but has remained a key analytical challenge. A novel method for sugar imag-ing in plants based on the principles of infrared spectroscopy, which was developed at the IPK-Gatersleben, allows ... more

q&more – the networking platform for quality excellence in lab and process

The q&more concept is to increase the visibility of recent research and innovative solutions, and support the exchange of knowledge. In the broad spectrum of subjects covered, the focus is on achieving maximum quality in highly innovative sectors. As a modern knowledge platform, q&more offers market participants one-of-a-kind networking opportunities. Cutting-edge research is presented by authors of international repute. Attractively presented in a high-quality context, and published in German and English, the original articles introduce new concepts and highlight unconventional solution strategies.
