Education and research experience:

Universität Würzburg, Botanisches Institut
 
I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of Würzburg.
My thesis title was "Stress-induced protein synthesis in the halotolerant green alga Dunaliella parva". My research was conducted in the 'Graduiertenkolleg' of the Botanical Institute.

University of Arizona, Department of Biochemistry
 
My research stay in the laboratory of Hans J. Bohnert was supported by a fellowship of the ‘Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft’.

Universität Bielefeld, Department of Physiology and Biochemistry of Plants
 
Currently, I am working at the Department of Physiology and Biochemistry of Plants of the University of Bielefeld.
Results from my work may be seen below.

Projects:


This section describes projects I have been working on. I am particularly interested in molecular biology, biochemistry, and physiology of abiotic stress in plants. I am working with plant species as Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, Arabidopsis thaliana, and rice.
Comparative analysis of gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana and related halotolerant species.
Salt stress is a major environmental factor that severely impairs growth and productivity of plants. Salinity-induced transcript expression is monitored in the salt-sensitive Arabidopsis thaliana and in related salt-tolerant species by hybridization of cDNA-arrays.

Expression of a cDNA homologous to AKT1-type potassium channels in rice varieties.
control stress The salt-sensitive rice line IR29 and the salt-tolerant rice line Pokkali accumulate sodium and potassium differently during a short-term stress of sodium chloride. Pokkali uses ion exclusion while IR29 accumulates significantly more sodium. Based on this physiological analysis, the expression of potassium uptake systems was investigated. A rice-cDNA clone was obtained that shows homology to AKT-type potassium channels from Arabidopsis. The expression of the transcript was studied in the salt-tolerant and in the salt-sensitive line.

Characterization of a high-affinity potassium transporter homologue in rice.
control stress In the abscence of potassium in the nutrition medium, Pokkali increasingly accumulates sodium similar to IR29. A rice cDNA clone homologous to the high affinity potassium uptake transporter HKT1 from wheat was obtained. Expression analyses showed a strong decrease of the transcript in the root differentiation zone of rice plants exposed to salt stress. The function of the transcript was studied by expression in yeast and in Xenopus oocytes.

Salt-inducible signal transduction elements in rice.

Differences in perception and signal transduction might play an important role in the different ion uptake behaviour of the rice lines IR29 and Pokkali. By cDNA-array hybridizations, we identified salt-inducible signal transduction elements. We generate transgenic rice plants over-expressing these signalling elements.  

Analysis of AKT-type potassium channels in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.
stress stress Cell and tissue specificity of a putative potassium channel was studied in M. crystallinum.
The accumulation of the transcript was analyzed in plants exposed to control conditions and to salt stress.

Stress-dependent expression of water channel proteins (MIP) in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum.
stress stress Major intrinsic proteins (MIP), also termed aquaporins, are supposed to function as water channels. Regulation of these proteins might be involved in salt stress resistance of the facultative halophyte M. crystallinum. Cell specificity and salt stress-dependence of the expression of MIP in the common ice plant were investigated.

Effects of salt stress on the expression of different subunits of the vacuolar H+-ATPase.
stress stress The vacuolar type H+-ATPase generates proton-motive force for many secondary active transport processes at the tonoplast. In M. crystallinum, the V-ATPase is supposed to be the primary proton pump energizing sodium sequestration into the vacuole. In this project, the molecular organization and tissue specificity of V-ATPase subunit expression is studied in M. crystallinum and A. thaliana.
