Poonam Kanwar

Dr. Poonam Kanwar is a Researcher at the Institute of Botany, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, where her work contributes to the Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences (CEPLAS). She is affiliated with the Plant Metabolism and Metabolomics Facility and focuses on understanding plant responses to micronutrient dynamics.

Her research investigates the interplay between abscisic acid (ABA) and iron homeostasis in plants. Iron deficiency or toxicity disrupts plant development, and her project explores how ABA fine-tunes iron uptake signaling pathways to optimize physiological adaptation. This work aligns with broader studies in plant-environment interactions and metabolic regulation.
