“My main interest is in plant stress physiology, with a focus on redox metabolism. Models used to study oxidative signaling include plants in extreme environments, seed and lichens, with the aim to unravel molecular mechanisms that underpin plant stress tolerance, seed longevity and ageing, and the molecular cross-talk between the lichen symbionts. Our basic research is relevant for agriculture and the seed trade, especially in the context of climate change. I enjoy supervising Bachelor, Master and PhD students (>50 so far), and mentoring of early career scientists and women scientists.”
