PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Redefining metabolic schemes in plant respiration

Each year, global leaf respiration-dependent metabolism liberates into the atmosphere nearly 30 gigatons of CO2 (2% of the atmospheric CO2 budget) as a waste product and a considerable amount of NH3 and H2S.

This project is open to Honours, Bachelor, Masters and PhD students
