Research: We investigate leaf metabolism with the aim to obtain a better understanding of the metabolic pathways involved, their regulation and compartmentation.
In particular the interactions between mitochondria and chloroplasts are in focus. The project contains two parts (1) the interaction of respiratory and photo synthetic metabolic pathways in photosynthetically active cells and (2) the involvement of mitochondria and respiratory metabolism in the process of leaf senescence.
