Research interests:
•Whole-tree physiology (photosynthetic processes, biomass allocation, carbohydrate dynamics) in response to biotic and abiotic stress.
•Manipulation of induced resistance mechanisms in pathogen/pest-plant interactions.
•Chemical ecology of pathogen/pest-plant interactions (identification and understanding the role of constitutive and induced secondary metabolites using GC-MS, HPLC-UV, HPLC-ESI-MS).
•Plant anatomical response in host-pathogen interactions.
