Research

My own research interest is focused on defense mechanisms of barley against fungal infection. In a current project, we are studying defence-related genes in floral organs of barley. Due to my engagement in the Electron Microscopy Unit, I am involved in several research projects, such as lipid storage in oat and tigernut, characterizing biobased plastics and studying distribution of an allergen protein in apples.
