Biography

Anna Ohlsson is an Associate Professor in the Ecological Plant Biochemistry group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on the natural protective mechanisms of plants, investigating ways to reduce toxic pesticide use in forestry and agriculture. She examines the effects of pre-treatments on seeds and young seedlings, enhancing plants' defensive responses to various biotic and abiotic stresses. Ohlsson has explored the role of oxidative stress in defense activation and has conducted significant research on the protective effects of specific treatments on plant species against pests. Collaborating extensively with other institutions, her studies have contributed valuable insights into the effects of compounds like nicotinamide and nicotinic acid on plant defense mechanisms, gene activation, and stress tolerance. Ohlsson's work also includes experimenting with plant cell cultures for basic research and cooperation with various academic departments to enhance understanding of ecological biochemistry in relation to plant stress response.
