Academic Interests
I am interested in plant physiology, in particular eco and stress physiology in plant, inculdig oxidative stress and the importance of antioxidants.
I have had research projects in the following areas:
- Cleansing and characterization of enzymes and regulation of aminoacid metabolism (aspartate family).
- The smell of soil and the substance ”geosmin” from cyanobacteria and actinomycetes.
- Biosynthesis of the plant hormone ethylen related to hypoxi in barley.
- Decomposition of cell walls during the budding of barley.
- Remote analysis of vegetational damage.
- Effect on vegetation from ozone.
- Different nitrogen sources for plants.
- Ammonium toxicity.
