Welcome at Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK)
Plant research with tradition in the centre of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
The IPK is working as an internationally renowned plant research center on the problems of biology in fundamental and applied research by focusing on cultivated plants. The Institute is a catalyst for the transformation into a bioeconomy, which aims on an efficient and sustainable supply of food, energy and raw materials.
The research creates solutions that are based on conservation, exploration and exploitation of the biodiversity of crop plants. The IPK has a longstanding history in plant research. The Institute comprises four departments: Breeding Research, Molecular Genetics, Physiology and Cell Biology and the Federal Ex situ Gene Bank (harboring one of the ten largest germplasm collections in the world). The research topics at the IPK include all branches of biology for model and crop plants as well as for their wild relatives, and since 2014 also cytogenomics on duckweeds.
