Professor Peter Geigenberger's central theme of research is investigating plant metabolism, specifically the regulated and coordinated response of environmental signals that affect growth, development, and output traits in plants. He employs a combination of systems biology and hypothesis-driven approaches focusing on the integrated analysis of -omics profiling across different plant genotypes and environments. His work incorporates genetic, biochemical, and molecular-physiological methods, with a particular aim to assess biotechnological applications for improving crops. Geigenberger’s research encompasses several projects, including the role of dynamic adjustments in photosynthetic metabolism in plants as they acclimate to fluctuating light intensities and low temperatures, as well as the investigation of signaling components involved in the homeostatic responses of plants to low oxygen concentrations. His ongoing studies utilize Arabidopsis plants to understand the mechanisms behind these acclimations, especially concerning starch metabolism and its role in cold tolerance.
