The microbiome is a crucial factor for plant growth and health. Although this fact is known more than 100 years, multi-omics technologies revolutionized this field of research. They revealed deep insight into the plant microbiome that now allow diverse applications in biotechnology, e.g. in the field of biological control of plant diseases. Moreover, the central role of the plant microbiome and their beneficial inhabitants for human and environmental health will be demonstrated.
Gabriele Berg studied biology and biotechnology at the universities in Rostock and Greifswald and obtained her Ph. D. in 1995 in microbiology from Rostock University (Germany). In 2003, she got a Heisenberg grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, and in 2005 she became a full professor in environmental biotechnology at Graz University of Technology (Austria). Her interests are focused on microbiome research and management for one health issues. She received numerous awards, e.g. Science2Business Award Austria, ÖGUT Umweltpreis (2011) and Fast Forward Award Styria (2015), and, in 2018, she was on the list that recognizes world-class researchers selected for their exceptional research performance (Web of Science/Clarivate).

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
