Andries Temme

Andries Temme is a Researcher in Plant Breeding at Wageningen University & Research, focusing on genomic and physiological mechanisms underlying plant stress tolerance. His work emphasizes abiotic stress responses in crops like sunflower and wheat, with a particular interest in nitrogen utilization, drought, and salinity tolerance. He collaborates on projects addressing pollinator-friendly farming systems and contributes to high-impact studies on crop improvement through genomic approaches.

Research Interests: His research integrates genomics, plant physiology, and ecology to enhance crop resilience. Key themes include stress tolerance in cultivated vs. wild relatives, transcriptomic responses to environmental challenges, and the genetic basis of nutrient use efficiency. He also explores the effects of CO₂ levels on plant performance and resource allocation strategies.

Publications: Recent work highlights genomic insights into sunflower's stress tolerance, drought stress phenotyping in peas, and meta-analyses of plant responses to CO₂. His articles span peer-reviewed journals like Frontiers in Plant Science and Journal of Experimental Botany.

• Advising: Co-promotor of PhD candidate Carolina Heredia in a project on pollinator-friendly crop variation.
• Grants/Projects: Active in a project developing crop flower variations for sustainable farming systems.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with interdisciplinary teams on genomic and phenotyping studies, contributing to datasets like those on nitrogen utilization in sunflower.
