Main research topics
Romola Davenport is interested the uptake and distribution of cations within plants. These are essential for plant growth and metabolism but may cause toxicity at excessive amounts.
Her main area of research is in is sodium transport. We are especially interested in this as most crop plants cannot exclude sodium adequately and suffer loss of yields in salty soils. In wheat and Arabidopsis sodium is able to enter roots via nonselective cation channels.
