Speaker of Session 06
BIOENERGY
My name is Mastaneh Ahrar, I got my master degree in plant
science specialization of greenhouse horticulture (University of
Wageningen, Netherlands) in 2012. Currently I am a PhD
student of Innsbruck university, ecology institute (Austria)
under supervision of Georg Wohlfahrt. My PhD is founded by
the Research and Innovation Center - Fondazione Edmund
Mach (FEM) in Italy where I carried out my experiments. My
PhD focused on physiological role of isoprene in Arundo donax.
I characterized photosynthesis and other physiological
parameters of this crop under drought stress in relation to its
isoprene emission capacity. My research interest is plant
physiology specifically the photosynthetic response to stress and
ecological impact of volatile isoprenoids emission from plant.
