Ongoing Projects
Discovery of maize genes important to nitrogen use efficiency.
Dissecting the molecular and genetic basis of leaf identity traits.
Investigating how small RNAs contribute to hybrid vigor.
Studying genetic changes in these populations from 100+ years
of selection on grain traits.
Developing maize as a platform for cellulosic biofuel production.
Gene discovery and molecular breeding of broomcorn.
Using tissue culture to edit various genotypes in maize including ones from the Long-term Selection Experiment.
