Prof. Simon Barak is a member of the French Associates Institute for Agriculture and Biotechnology of Drylands at BGU’s Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant tolerance to harsh environmental stresses such as those found in the Negev including heat, drought, and high soil salinity. Prof. Barak’s team has discovered two genes that, when disabled, lead to plants’ tolerance to multiple stresses.
