Position: Postdoctoral researcher

Department: Funding, CPSBB

The early research of Dr. Veselin Petrov is mostly related to the study of plants’ responses to various forms of abiotic stimuli. He has worked on the identification and characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants sensitive to oxidative stress. He has also studied cis-regulatory elements in the same species, which are specific for different kinds of reactive oxygen species.

More recently, the efforts of Dr. Petrov are oriented towards biochemical and physiological characterization of some crops in response to adverse environmental conditions and the investigation of the effects of different biostimulants on plant fitness.

Moreover, Dr. Petrov has developed extensive experience in preparing project proposals for different funding schemes, as well as research project management. He actively participated in the writing of the Teaming project PlantaSYST.
