Research Interests:

Light and ambient high temperature are key environmental cues regulating plant growth and development (Photomorphogenesis and Thermomorphogenesis). In the lab, we use Tomato and Arabidopsis as model plant species. We apply various approaches to unravel light as well as ambient high temperature-induced signal transduction pathways extending from receptor/thermosensors to signaling cascades and target genes and proteins that are important for metabolic homeostasis, plant shape and architecture determination.
