Lower LUE under LED lighting: what’s the problem and what is the cause?
The transition from traditional SON-T lighting to energy-efficient LEDs does not always go smoothly in practice. Growers of crops such as tomatoes and cucumbers have reported a lower light use efficiency (LUE) when using LED light ...

Characterization of transcription factors involved in root salinity response.
Soil salinity is an increasing problem for agriculture worldwide. To understand how plants deal with this stress we study the development of their root systems under salinity stress. In previous experiments we have identified a sa ...

The role of blue-light photoreceptors in seed development (MSc only)
The transitional phase from dark-grown seedlings to light is very important. During this transition, skotomorphogenic seedlings must change many processes to become photomorphogenic and start photosynthesis. In this process, photo ...

Investigating alternative splicing in salt stress responses
Salt stress is one of the major abiotic factors limiting plant growth and productivity, contributing significantly to crop losses worldwide. To help improve global food security, our project aims to develop plants with enhanced re ...

Investigating the role of phytohormone cytokinin in lateral root development under salt stress
Saline soils are becoming an increasing threat to agriculture world wide. In contrast to animals that can move to avoid stressful conditions, plants are literally bound to their location. In response to unfavorable conditions they ...

Prediction and testing of protein dimerization using structural modeling and in vitro validation.
Soil salinity is an increasing problem for agriculture worldwide. To understand how plants deal with this stress we study the development of their root systems under salinity stress. In this thesis you will be studying the dimeriz ...

Identification of multi-stress response mechanisms in Arabidopsis thaliana HapMap population using a genome-wide association study approach (BSc. Only).
Plant encounter a myriad of stress conditions in the wild, both biotic as well as abiotic conditions. These stress conditions affect germination, growth (e.g. shoot growth, root growth, etc.) and the response to other stress condi ...

Development of a seed vigour test for organic seeds
In organic farming, devoid of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, the microbiome plays a central role in promoting nutrient cycling and soil fertility. Beneficial bacteria and fungi can promote nutrient absorption and strengthen ...

Sodium accumulation and salt tolerance in Lettuce
Plants under salt stress suffer severe changes to their nutrient uptake, which alters their nutrient composition. While some ions are taken up more due to their higher availability, other ions are less so due to higher competition ...
