MAJOR RESEARCH INTEREST:

Plant carbohydrate and nutrient transport and the long-distance translocation of both via the phloem from source to sink tissues.

Molecular and physiological responses of crop (sugar beet, rapeseed, cassava) and model plants (Arabidopsis, common plantain) to abiotic stress and nutrient deficiency, with focus on the role of transport proteins during such conditions.
