Metabolism and transport in plants under abiotic stress - MITEV

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2015-234

 
Description of research activity:

The morphophysiological effects of various abiotic stresses on plants are studied, in particular on photosynthetic and respiratory metabolism, as well as water balance and alterations in the functionality of cell membranes and nutrient distribution in the plant. The project focuses mainly on stresses caused by salinity and heavy metals, in this case both by excess (toxicities) and deficiencies (nutritional deficiencies), and the mechanisms regulating plant responses to these adverse environmental conditions.
