Research activities
Carbon metabolism of leaves, flowers and fruits: photosynthesis, respiration, PSI and PSII activity, carbohydrate metabolism, gene expression.
Physiology of stress: stress biotic (Botrytis cinerea and other, bacteria) and abiotic (pesticides, UV, cold, warm): impact on defence mechanism of the plant and carbon metabolism.
