Isotopes and the characterization of extrasolar planets
Diverse types of exoplanets such as gas giants on close-in orbits (hot Jupiters) and young massive giants on wide orbits (super Jupiters), with no analogs in the Solar System, pose challenges but also opportunities to our understanding of planet formation and evolution.

Levensverlengend gen bij planten ontdekt
Oogst na oogst binnenhalen van rijstveld, zonder nieuwe rijstplanten te zetten? Door een ontdekking komt dit scenario misschien wel dichterbij. Leidse wetenschappers hebben een gen ontdekt waarmee ze eenjarige planten na het bloeien opnieuw laten groeien, in plaats van dat de planten sterven. Publicatie…

Functional xylem anatomy: intra and interspecific variation in stems of herbaceous and woody species
My PhD thesis investigates the ecological significance of resistance against drought-induced air bubble formation inside the water conduits of plants (embolism), and the plasticity and functional aspects of stem anatomical traits in woody and herbaceous species.

Molecular inheritance from cloud to disk: a story of complex organics and accretion shocks
Stars like the sun are born in large molecular clouds existing from gas and dust. During the formation process, the chemical composition of the material can be altered drastically by the changing physical conditions.

Nieuwe planten produceren zonder zaaien
Zonder een gewas opnieuw te zaaien toch nakomelingen produceren, die zelfs groter kunnen zijn dan de ouderplant. Volgens Leidse onderzoekers is dat mogelijk door het overstimuleren van één gen. Daarmee verjongt een cel en gaat deze terug naar de embryonale fase.
