Research Interest
How plants respond to environmental changes and the transcriptional networks underlying this process. Specifically, I am interested in how jasmonates regulate a broad range of responses to balance growth and defense in grass systems. This research provides the potential to engineer crops with increased biomass while successfully defending against stress.
