STREB Peter

Peter Streb is a Senior Lecturer at the laboratoire d’écophysiologie végétale at the Faculté des sciences d’Orsay (université Paris sud XI). He is working on the effect of environmental stress on plants, in particular variable temperature and saline stress in combination with strong light. Much of his work is done in the Alps on a few alpine species. His studies aim to understand how plants acclimatize to harsh conditions and how the photosynthetic apparatus is protected under strong light.
