Nominator's project description

Professor Zdenko Rengel is one of the most prominent plant nutritionists worldwide. In his research he has addressed scientifically attractive areas across the whole discipline ranging from soil and environmental sciences through soil-plant relationships to plant physiology. His main scientific merits are break-through contributions in the areas of aluminium toxicity and resistance, efficient acquisition of nutrients, and micronutrient transport toward and within grains, an area which will be the main focus during his stay in Germany.
