Research Interest
Plants are our greatest source of renewable resources, providing food, medicines, industrial products, and biofuels. Agriculture around the world will face many challenges over the coming decades, including those imposed by changes in global climate patterns. In this context, a detailed understanding of plant adaptations that protect them against environmental stresses, such as drought, salt stress and pathogen attack, is critical for generating crop varieties that are more stress resistant.
