Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Bernd Truberg"
- Bernd Truberg focuses on agricultural genetics, particularly the breeding and genomic analysis of potatoes, with an emphasis on improving crop quality and reducing harmful compounds, like acrylamide in processed foods.
- His recent work includes evaluating the application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for predicting acrylamide formation in French fries, which facilitates the breeding process despite the challenges of sample analysis.
- Truberg has also contributed to the understanding of potato genomics by creating a chromosome-scale reference genome assembly from an elite diploid variety and exploring the impact of short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) on gene structure and genome organization within the Solanaceae family.
