Mohanned Abdalla: Plant Physiology First Author

Mohanned Abdalla, first author of “Coupled effects of soil drying and salinity on soil-plant hydraulics“

Current positions: Ph.D. candidate in the Chair of Soil Physics, Bayreuth Center of Ecology and Environmental Research (BayCEER), University of Bayreuth, Germany.

Lecturer at the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Khartoum, Sudan.

Education: BSc. and MSc. in horticultural sciences from Faculty of Agriculture, University of Khartoum, Sudan.

Non-scientific Interests: Parenting, cycling and hiking.

Brief bio: After joining the Chair of Soil Physics at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, during my Ph.D., I had a great interest in understanding the fundamental processes in soil that impact plant behavior. I focused on the interactions between plants, microorganisms and the physical behavior of soil and how the changes in biophysical properties in the rhizosphere control plant water status under abiotic stress conditions. My doctoral work provided a new fundamental knowledge concerning the links between soil hydraulic properties and stomatal regulation under drought. I am looking forward to advancing my research interests and discovering knowledge leading to improving the capacity of food production.

个人简介：加入德国拜罗伊特大学土壤物理课题组之后，我的研究兴趣在于探讨土壤中的基本过程对植物生理的影响。我的研究重点聚焦于植物，微生物和土壤物理特性之间的相互影响，以及在非生物胁迫条件下根际生物物理特性的变化对植物水分吸收的影响。我的博士工作在理解土壤水力特性和干旱条件下气孔调控间的联系方面，提供了一个新的视角。我非常期待未来，通过拓展我的研究兴趣和发掘新知识，在提高粮食生产上做出贡献。
