Main field of research:

  • spatio-temporal changes in symplasmic communication during plant cell differentiation;
  • application of immunohistological techniques on the light and electron microscope level in monitoring of changes in chemical composition of plant cell walls under the influence of internal and external factors;
  • analysis of the nanoparticles impact of plant development.

Unique resources of the Department:

  • Tissue cell pressure probe allowing determination of the turgor, plasma membrane plasticity, cell wall properties and presence of aquaporin.

    • Eukaryotic cell ultrastructure and electron microscopy techniques
    • Advanced light microscope techniques
  • PhD studies on Advanced methods in biotechnology and biodiversity:
    • Plant morphogenesis in vivo and in vitro.
