Research interests
Fields of research: plant cell biology, plant physiology, environmental studies, space biology. Scientific interest is focused on molecular and cellular mechanisms of plant tolerance and adaptation; heat shock proteins (HSPs)/molecular chaperones of plants: regulation of gene expression, the cytosolic stress protein response, the unfolding protein response (UPR), kinetics of synthesis in connection with plant tolerance, tissue-specificity of expression, roles in plant growth, development and morphogenesis, biomarker of plant state; HSPs in cell response to microgravity, hypergravity and ionizing radiation.
