Julian Schroeder pioneered the identification and characterization of plasma membrane ion channels in higher plants. He characterized and identified their functions and regulation mechanisms, in particular in stomatal guard cell signal transduction and abiotic stress resistance. He has identified mechanisms of abscisic acid signal transduction. He has further characterized mechanisms through which plants are responding to the continuing elevation in atmospheric CO2 in closing stomatal pores. His laboratory also identified and characterized the plant HKT transporters and identified how HKT transporters protect plants from salinity/sodium stress. He is member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has received awards, including the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award and was a CAS International Visiting Professor and is Churchill Overseas Fellow at Cambridge University.
