Research Summary
Model Systems
Research Methods
One goal of modern breeding programs is to increase crop uniformity so that harvesting time is more predictable and quality is consistent. We are working with two model plants; Arabidopsis for fundamental research, and basil as a model crop to understand how plants’ environmental responses can be engineered to control crop yield, quality, and flowering date. We continue to exploit our technology to generate crops with predictable, reliable harvests and welcome interest from commercial partners.
Arabidopsis or other plants
Quantitative research; Basic/fundamental/discovery research; Translational/applied research; Laboratory research; Molecular biology (including genetics and gene editing); Imaging
