Alon Samach

Dr. Alon Samach is an Associate Professor of Plant Sciences at the Rehovot-based Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture Food and Environment of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is interested in understanding how different plant species use different environmental cues (changes in temperature, photoperiod, light quality and light intensity) and internal cues (fruit load) to correctly time the transition to flowering. He have recently moved our focus to fruit trees.
