There, we visited the Centre of Plant Structural and
Functional Genomics, greeted by Roman Hobza who was our guide in Olomouc for
the day. Also greeting us were Jan Bartos,
Hana Simkova, and Jana Dostolova, who (like Roman) are affiliated with the Centre
conducting different types of plant experiments:
Jan and Hana each presented a lecture to the students
relating to the wheat genome studies that made this Centre famous and the leader
in this particular field:
Afterwards, the students were taken on a tour through the
Centre’s labs and greenhouses:
After spending the morning at the Centre, we went to the
center of Olomouc, a beautiful old city, where we all ate lunch and the students
went on a city walking tour to see the sites, including where Mendel studied
when he was in Olomouc, before we caught our bus back to Vienna, Austria:
