Dr Joana Amaral

Senior Research Associate Plant Physiologist

Research Overview

I am a postdoc researcher in at 快播视频 Environment Centre (快播视频, 快播视频, UK), which focuses on photosynthesis research.

My research interests include understanding plant responses to their surrounding environment and enhancing plant performance under different scenarios.

I have worked in several projects focused on understanding forest trees/woody species response to biotic and abiotic stresses using an integrated approach – from physiology to Omics.

Recently, as part of the , I studied strategies to improve photosynthesis for higher yielding crops based on Rubisco regulation by Rubisco activase.

I am currently working in the , aiming to understand Rubisco synthesis and degradation and its impact on photosynthetic efficiency and Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) in wheat.
