My research group studies oxidative stress in plants, ROS signaling and the molecular mechanisms of these reactions, with a focus on redox reactions and class III peroxidases. Plasma membranes are the major system under investigation, with studies on its lipid and protein composition, alterations by different stressors and regulation of redox systems and other proteins.

We use a wide variety of techniques to address these topics, including molecular biology and genetics, biochemistry, proteomics, bioinformatics and imaging techniques, whole plant physiology and in vitro systems. Most of our research is conducted using the genetic model plants maize (Zea mays) and pea (Pisum sativum).
