Dr. Tino Kreszies

Scientist

I am a plant scientist with a special interest on the effects of abiotic stresses on crops, such as drought, salt or nutrient deficiencies, as these will jeopardize food security in future. In my concept of research, I combine omics-technologies with plant physiology approaches, to understand the whole plant performance and their adaptation mechanisms to specific environments.

Specific areas of interest include:

  • The structure and function of suberized root barriers forming the root/soil interface
  • The water and nutrient transport into plant roots
  • The structure and function of cutin/wax barriers forming the plant/atmosphere interface
  • Photosynthesis under aspects of nutrient deficiencies and drought stress


Current crops of interest:

  • Barley & Wheat
  • Maize
  • Sugar beet
