Main research topics
Alex Webb is interested in furthering the understanding of how plant cells perceive and process signals to produce responses. By using stomatal cells as a model it is possible to analyse plant cell signal transduction. Circadian rhythms enable plants to measure time; he therefore investigates the underlying mechanisms of guard cell movements caused by circadian regulated cytosolic calcium. Microarray technology is used to further the knowledge of circadium regulation in planta.
