• Research Interests (300 words)

  I'm broadly interested in how plants have adapted to diverse environments especially to abiotic stresses as cold, freezing, drought, and heavy metal stresses. I have studied the genetic and physiological basis of heavy metal tolerance of plants during my PhD at Ruhr University in Germany and now working on genetic regulation of the costs and benefits of cold acclimation at Purdue University in Indiana.

Interesting. An unexpected result could also tell us many things. How do you interpret that result? High light intensity leading in high temperature could affect seed germination. How many days did you grow them after germination. The size could be variable also depending on developmental stages.
