Julian Verdonk (Assistant Professor, PI)

Julian

I am a plant molecular biologist and did my PhD in Amsterdam on plant physiology and volatiles. I have been all over the world: UK, USA, and Chile and now since 2014 in Wageningen, but I’ve always worked on plant secondary metabolites. I work on quality and postharvest of fruit, vegetables and flowers; particularly the regulation and biosynthesis of quality related compounds, such as pigments, volatiles and health related compounds.

I am a postharvest physiologist interested in the transition from pre- to postharvest with regard to product physiology and product quality. How can information acquired during the production phase become meaningful during the postharvest phase? I specialise in describing, measuring and analysing the physiological processes governing quality issues. Google Scholar, Research Gate, LinkedIn
