Research Interests
- Scintigraphic detection of metastable technetium-99 using a gamma camera for the study of long-distance transport in plants
- Environmental and physiological factors that influence the susceptibility of grape berries to fruit splitting
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a technique for the study of diffusion within the grape berry
- Stable and radioactive isotopes as tracers for the study of water, carbohydrate and nutrient transport in plants
- Sectorial xylem transport in the grapevine
- Cultivar differences in the water-use efficiency of grapevines
