Plant Drought Adaptation
Investigating the molecular, physiological, and metabolic mechanisms underlying plant adaptation to water limitation.
Overview
Water availability is a major determinant of plant growth, productivity, and geographical distribution.
Our research explores how plants respond and adapt to water limitation through molecular, physiological, and metabolic mechanisms.
Research Questions
- How do plants regulate gene expression in response to drought?
- What mechanisms contribute to adaptation in arid environments?
- How does photosynthetic and carbon metabolic plasticity contribute to drought responses?
