Research centres on plant nutrition and stress. Plant nutrients and toxic minerals are typically present in ionic form and we study molecular mechanisms of ion uptake and translocation. Studies are conducted to elucidate how K+ is taken up and distributed throughout plants, through identification and characterisation of K+ membrane transporters. Plant stress research focuses on detrimental effects of salinity, a global and increasing problem, and in particular on molecular pathways for Na+ uptake and how these are regulated by cyclic nucleotide signalling. More recently, investigations have started to identify and characterise membrane transporters involved in the uptake and distribution of arsenic in Arabidopsis and rice. Techniques to study these subjects include: electrophysiology, transcriptomics and (phospho)proteomics.
