Plant – biostimulant interactions: elucidation of modes of action of biostimulants
We apply metabolomics, involving 4IR technologies, to elucidate biochemical and molecular events that govern the biostimulant effects on crop plants, under normal and abiotic stress conditions. These efforts contribute also towards the realization of Agriculture 4.0.
Medicinal plants: natural product research
We apply metabolomics, involving 4IR technologies, to comprehensively decode the chemical space of medicinal plants occurring in South Africa (e.g., Momordica, Artemisia, Cannabis and Helichrysum species), and to elucidate the biochemistry that explains the differential metabolic maps of these plants
