Former studies were aimed at defining the effects and
interactions of reduced oxygen partial pressure to quantify plant metabolic
responses (mainly exchange of volatiles, water relations and pyridine
nucleotides) to abiotic stress. More recently, research focus is on optical
fruit parameters and correlated fruit properties determined by fruit maturity
and fruit compounds beneficial for human nutrition. Transfer of basic research
to technical application was conducted e.g. on monitoring fruit maturity by
means of spectroscopy, while developing a certified sensor system (
www.cp-info.de).
