Research Interests:
How plants respond to abiotic stress, including drought, salinity, low potassium and low phosphorus, as well as to stress hormone ABA? What are the roles of calcium-dependent protein kinases in stress signaling and how do they regulate transcription factor activities? We work with Arabidopsis and Canola (Brassica napus L.) and use a combination of physiology, genetics, molecular biology and biochemistry to dissect the inner mechanisms. Our work will help to better understand the signaling pathways in plants under stress conditions and also to improve crops’ tolerance to abiotic stresses.
