About

Professor Gerhard Leubner is the Chair of Plant Biochemistry at Royal Holloway University of London, UK. His research focuses on seed germination mechanisms, seed dormancy, and the biomechanics of plant reproductive structures. Recent publications highlight his work on the effects of temperature on germination, seed biopriming strategies, and the integration of temperature signals in embryo growth.
