Petra Gabrovšek
Currently a young researcher and PhD student of conservation biology at the Department of Applied Natural Sciences, UP FAMNIT. Research focuses on the immortelle plant, including morphological and phenological characterization, development and application of molecular markers for variability and population genetic analysis, plant microbial communities, chemical characterization of distillation-derived products, and cultivation technology.

Profile & Interests
Background in conservation biology and agronomy provides a strong foundation for my research. My interests extend to plant tissue culture, alongside plant genetics and plant-associated microbial communities.
Current Role
Currently a young researcher and PhD student of conservation biology at the Department of Applied Natural Sciences, UP FAMNIT. Research focuses on the immortelle plant, including morphological and phenological characterization, development and application of molecular markers for variability and population genetic analysis, plant microbial communities, chemical characterization of distillation-derived products, and cultivation technology.
Mobility Objectives
Integrate new techniques to cultivate and characterize cultivable microorganisms from immortelle’s root system and surrounding soil, and evaluate the effects of immortelle’s hydrosol and essential oil on the selected strains of plant pathogens.
Mobility Title
Microbial communities of immortelle and the antimicrobial potential of its extracts against plant pathogens
