Julian C. Verdonk

Julian Verdonk is Assistant Professor in Horticulture at Wageningen University, investigating postharvest physiology of ornamental products. His research examines metabolic pathways influencing quality attributes in cut flowers.

Focus areas include biochemical regulation of specialized metabolites during plant development, particularly floral scent compounds. Current work analyzes how preharvest growing conditions impact postharvest vase life and commercial quality parameters.
