Research Interests:
Major interests are in the structure, chemical composition and properties of the plant cuticular membrane, and the function of the plant surface as the plant/environment interface. Current research concentrates on the mechanisms and consequences of environmental damage to the plant surface by wind and pollutants. The uptake characteristics of non-isolated plant cuticles are being measured, and the occurrence and significance of patchiness in surface properties and stomatal responses, of pristine and damaged leaves, are being analyzed experimentally.
