Plant Environmental Biochemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores how plants tolerate environmental stress through their interactions with microbes in the roots.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the chemical interactions between plants and microbes
The Plant Environmental Biochemistry Lab studies the mechanisms by which plants tolerate environmental stress such as heavy metals, focusing on their relationships with endophytes.
The lab also investigates how plants and the microbes around their roots influence each other through chemical substances.
Its research projects and papers include many that focus on plants growing naturally at abandoned mine sites.
Key terms
- Endophytes
- Fungi that live inside plants. This lab studies their role in plant stress tolerance
- Heavy metals
- Metals that burden plants when present in large amounts in soil. The research also covers tolerance to iron and zinc
- Rhizosphere
- The region of soil around plant roots. The place where plants and microbes come into contact
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to clarify the mechanisms by which plants tolerate environmental stress, focusing on their relationships with endophytes and the microbes around their roots. It studies plant responses to heavy metal stress and to chemical substances.
*Illustrative imageEndophytes and tolerance to heavy metal stress
The lab investigates how endophytes contribute to the mechanisms by which plants tolerate heavy metal stress. There are research projects and papers on plants growing naturally at abandoned mine sites.
*Illustrative imageEndophytes and tolerance to environmental stress
The lab investigates how endophytes contribute to the mechanisms by which plants tolerate environmental stress. There is a paper on the symbiotic relationship between endophytes and plants under high soil temperature stress.
*Illustrative imageInteractions between plants and rhizosphere microbes
The lab investigates how plants and the microbes living around their roots (the rhizosphere) influence each other through chemical substances. There is a paper on substances produced by root endophytes.
*Illustrative imagePlant responses to chemical substances
The lab investigates how chemical substances act on plants and how plants respond to stress. There is a paper on a substance derived from an endophyte that promotes the growth of its host plant under aluminum stress.
