Heiko Schoof

Prof. Dr. Heiko Schoof serves as Dean of the Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences at the University of Bonn. His research focuses on plant genomics and crop adaptation, particularly in maize. He investigates genetic mechanisms of drought tolerance and hybrid vigor through advanced genomic approaches.

Research interests center on plant stress responses, gene expression regulation in crops, and developing genomic resources for crop improvement. His work bridges molecular genetics and agricultural applications.

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on plant genomics, drought adaptation mechanisms, and maize genetics. Recent work explores gene expression patterns in hybrids and stress-tolerant species.
