Our Research Areas

The sustainable use of Earth’s resources in a changing environment is a main challenge for the preservation of livelihood and human health.

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

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