Current Project

Using targeted and untargeted metabolomics to elucidate the role of small molecules in belowground chemical interactions between plant species

Description

In this interdisciplinary project, I am conducting field, pot and lab experiments to unreveal chemical interactions between plant species. I use analytical techniques including LC-QqQ-MS/MS, UHPLC-HRMS/MS and GC-TOF-MS to elucidate the role of small molecules in belowground chemical interactions between plant species. Results from this study will be used to develop integrated crop protection management strategies for the Northern European condition.
