Uwe Ludewig (born June 26, 1967 in Helmstedt ) is a German agricultural scientist specializing in plant physiology and director of the Institute for Crop Science at the University of Hohenheim .

Live and act

After attending school in Braunschweig, he studied physics, in particular biophysics, at the TU Braunschweig and the Georg-August University in Göttingen , which he completed in 1992 with his diploma thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Department of Membrane Biophysics.

He completed a postgraduate course in molecular biology at the University of Hamburg (1997) and a doctorate on the function and structure of chloride channels with Thomas Jentsch with a Dr. rer. nat. 1996 from.

After a stay abroad on an EMBO postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Seville , Spain with Jose Lopes-Barneo, he switched to Wolf Frommer at the University of Tübingen .

In 2002 Ludewig became a junior group leader at the Center for Molecular Biology of Plants, the University of Tübingen with a habilitation in 2007, and the Venia legendi for plant physiology. From 2009–2010 he took on a substitute professorship at the Technical University of Darmstadt , and in 2010 he accepted the position of professor for nutritional physiology of cultivated plants at the Institute for Plant Nutrition at the University of Hohenheim. Since it was renamed the Institute for Crop Science, he has been the managing director of the institute.

Memberships and engagements

Research and publications

Ludewig researches and teaches molecular plant nutrition. This research field deals with the genetic and molecular basis of the uptake and distribution of nutrients in plants. The main interest is the uptake, perception and regulation of ammonium transport, nitrogen and phosphorus use in cultivated plants and the special role of individual micronutrients.

The institute has been involved in five EU-funded projects since 2000 and employs undergraduate and postgraduate students from more than ten countries. Ludewig is a popular speaker at specialist congresses and a member of the Biofector management committee; Together with his colleagues, he has written more than 50 publications.
