Biography

Eric Visser is an Associate Professor at Radboud University specializing in how plants respond to abiotic stresses, such as drought, nutrient deficiency, shading, and flooding. His research primarily focuses on the impact of environmental conditions on plant growth and root development in field conditions. He is particularly interested in the action of plant hormones and gene regulation that dictate the phenotypic responses in root and shoot development. Currently, Visser leads several projects aiming to enhance biodiversity and resilience in agricultural landscapes, including developing new seed mixtures for flood resistance in dike systems and adapting tomato germplasm to the varying climatic conditions in India. His work is pivotal in promoting sustainable practices and addressing climate change challenges in agriculture.
