Welcome! We are interested in plants and water. Plants are interesting organisms. Without them, we would not be here. Plants provide us with oxygen, food and many other things. To do that, plants typically need to take up and transport large amounts of water.
We are interested how plants transport water and sugars in their vascular tissue. We also study how plants cope with stress factors such as drought, frost and insect defoliation. Click on the Publications tab if you would like to learn more.
