Environmental Simulation

Our research focuses on the impact of environmental factors on the biosphere-atmosphere exchange through the simulation of diverse climatic conditions.

Our research focuses on the impact of environmental factors on the biosphere-atmosphere exchange through the simulation of diverse climatic conditions.

Our Research Areas

Abiotic Stress

Abiotic Stress Resistance and Resilience

For maintaining sustainable, environmentally benign agriculture under the forecasted future climate conditions, it is essential to design effective plant breeding and protection strategies, principally exploiting the available genetic resources.

VOCs

Biology of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Our research provides evidence on how and to which extent biogenic VOCs are involved in plant protection and adaptation as well as how multiple environmental constraints affect plant behavior and biotic interactions (pathogens and herbivores.

More about VOCs
Phenomics

Phenomics

We aim to understand the interrelation between biotic and abiotic stress responses and plant health and productivity on a molecular level.

Associated research group

Molecular Plant Physiology

Our research addresses (i) the establishment and control of defense against plant pathogens by inactivation of immune-modulatory signaling molecules through glucosylation and (ii) the impact of aquaporins on plant development using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
