Daniel Pergament Persson

Daniel Pergament Persson serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in plant nutrition and micronutrient dynamics. His research integrates molecular, physiological, and nanotechnological approaches to investigate nutrient uptake mechanisms in crops and model plants.

His primary research interests include zinc and iron homeostasis, apoplastic barrier functions, and phosphorus translocation in plants. Recent work examines root-based nutrient regulation in Arabidopsis, barley, and tomato systems, with emphasis on metal crosstalk and deficiency responses. He actively explores nanotechnology applications for targeted nutrient delivery, particularly through foliar pathways.

Analysis of his publication trends reveals strong focus on micronutrient transport mechanisms, with 2025 articles in Science and New Phytologist addressing nitrogen fixation barriers and zinc sensing. His interdisciplinary approach spans plant physiology, soil science, and nanotoxicology, as evidenced by collaborative studies on iron oxide biodistribution.
