Research

The research focus is on the identification of Physiological and genetic traits associated with plant adaption to salinity focusing on the legume plant chickpea (Cicer arietinum). I perform glasshouse and field salinity experiments. Salt resistance measurements focus on the tissue concentrations of sodium, potassium and chloride in chickpea leaves, stems flowers and seeds.
