Biography
Prof. Gordon Gray, received his Ph.D in from University of Western Ontario. Currently, he is working as Professor, at University of Saskatchewan. His research interest includes the metabolic regulation/interaction of photosynthetic and respiratory processes in response to abiotic stresses (low temperature and high-light) are examined. Approaches combining biochemical, physiological and molecular genetic techniques are utilized in the model plants Arabidopsis and Thellungiella with the goal of enhancing plant stress tolerance. He has authored several publications.
