VIB-Ugent Center for Plant Systems Biology (VIB-PSB)
www.psb.ugent.be/index.php
The cornerstone of the center for Plant Systems Biology (VIB-PSB) is curiosity-driven research on basic cellular mechanisms. Much of this research is performed on Arabidopsis as well as other plants including maize, poplar, tomato, wheat, Marchantia, duckweed, canola, soybean and plants producing high value specialised metabolites. VIB-PSB has identified five scientific focus areas:
  • plant metabolism (morphological and biochemical features of plants for carbon fixation, environment adaptation and human consumption and utilisation), growth and development;

  • interaction of plants with the environment (interaction of different abiotic stress factors, e.g. droughts and heat, water deficiciency, closing the lab-field gap, intercropping);
  • bioinformatics and integrative biology (assembly and annotation of novel plant genome sequences, evolutionary genomics, the analysis and integration of -omics data, gene network modelling and comparative genomics);

  • translation from models to crops and from lab to field (closing the lab-to-field learning cycle, wheat on phosphoproteomics, single cell analysis, multiplex mRNA in situ hybridisation, genome editing and network biology, soybean to add to the traditional pipeline));

  • breakthrough technologies (genome editing, efficient transformation pipelines to improve plant growth, yield, and climate resilience).


The marine research is mainly conducted in the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology group which focuses on functional, structural and comparative genomics. The marine topics concern the genetic study of algae (e.g. diatoms) for which collaboration is established with the laboratory of Protistology and Aquatic Ecology (UGent). Furthermore, the research also targets species which are important for aquaculture such as Artemia, in close collaboration with the laboratory of Aquaculture and Artemia Reference Center (UGent). The Plant Genome Editing group and the Phycology Research Group (UGent) collaborate and develop techniques to generate gain- and loss-of-function mutants for the green seaweed Ulva.
