Michael Riedel

Dr. Michael Riedel is affiliated with the Chair of Botany II – Plant Ecophysiology at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany. His academic role focuses on research and administrative management within the department, including student advisory services.

• Research Focus: Plant ecophysiology, root nodulation symbiosis, nitrogen foraging, small RNAs in plant development, legume stress adaptations, cuticular wax chemistry, and plant-pathogen interactions.
• Key Topics: Studies span plant-insect dynamics, wax composition in Cocos nucifera, Nepenthes surface analysis, and pre-penetration resistance in Lolium perenne.
