    Description

    Plants are advanced stress managers

    Dr. ir. E.H. Poelman, Wageningen University

    Plants have to deal with uncertainty of when and by which insects they will be attacked. This requires growth and defence strategies that are effective against current attack as well as risk of forthcoming attack. I will investigate the evolution of the repertoire of plant risk management strategies.

    Description

    Planten zijn meesters in stress management

    Dr. ir. E.H. Poelman, Wageningen University

    Planten ervaren grote onzekerheid wanneer en door welke insecten ze worden aangevallen. In een reactie van verdediging en groei op de huidige belager, moeten planten ook het risico inschatten op aanvallen van toekomstige belagers. Ik onderzoek de evolutie van deze vorm van stress management in planten.
