Research Interest
Nitrogen nutrition and plant responses to abiotic stress.
Research
Felix Fritschi has a research/teaching appointment in plant physiology. His main research interests are in the area of plant responses to abiotic stress. In particular, he emphasizes on effects of water deficit and heat on plant growth and productivity. He teaches an introductory class on plant structure and function and an advanced crop physiology class.
