Over past years I have specialized in physiological ecology of plants - an interesting scientific branch that explains plant - environment relationships and helps to deeper understanding of ecological processes. Recently my research work was focused on use of mineral nutrients in plants. Namely, the role of transport processes in distribution and use of nitrogen was of my interest. Interactions between availability and transport of water and mineral nutrients is also one direction in my research. My lab is part of the Department of Plant Physiology and Anatomy, Faculty of Science of the Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic.
