About

The overall goal of my PhD project is to investigate the mechanisms underlying biotic-stress induced plant-microbe communication belowground via root-emitted volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Biography

I am one of PhD students working in MiCrop consortium. Our focus is on understanding stress-adaptive microbiomes and their active recruitment by plants across the plant kingdom through a phylogenetic approach. We will zoom in on the discovery of novel microbiome functions that are recruited by plants to alleviate environmental stress. In particular, my PhD project investigates the role of root volatiles on the recruitment of rhizosphere microbes by plants under biotic stress conditions.
