My main interests in research has been life history evolution and eco-physiological adaptations in
desiccation tolerance of so - called anhydrobiotic organisms, with particular focus on tardigrades.
The role of phospholipid headgroup composition and trehalose in
the desiccation tolerance of Caenorhabditis elegans.
«These findings illustrate how resurrection plants manipulate sugar metabolism to promote
desiccation tolerance and may provide candidate genes that are potentially useful for the development of stress tolerant crops.»
