معرفی
Prof. Dr. Sandra Schmöckel is a Full Professor (W3, tenured) at the Physiology of Yield Stability department, University of Hohenheim, Germany. Her research bridges plant physiology, genetics, and climate resilience to address abiotic stresses in crops.
- Education:
- PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology, University of Adelaide (2010)
- Master of Science in Cellular and Molecular Biology, University of Potsdam (2008)
- Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology/Physiology, University of Potsdam (2005)
Research Focus:
Prof. Schmöckel investigates mechanisms of plant tolerance to salinity, drought, and heat stress. Her work integrates protein characterization, signaling pathways, field trials, and genomic approaches, with a particular emphasis on crops like quinoa and tomatoes. She explores transmembrane transporters, NAC transcription factors, and lipidomic responses to enhance yield stability under climate change scenarios.
Publications & Trends:
Her recent articles highlight quinoa genomics, saponin biosynthesis, and drought/heat stress responses in maize and Arabidopsis. Key themes include transcription factor roles (e.g., NAC, bHLH), genome assembly techniques, and metabolic profiling for stress adaptation.
- Scientific Engagement:
- German University Association (since 2017)
- German Plant Breeding Society (since 2017)
- Associate Editor, Plant Methods (since 2017)
