I'm interested in learning how plants adapt to stress in their environment. The lab uses various plants depending on the research questions we are asking. Some species have included nickel-hyperaccumulating Alyssum plants, the green algae Chlamydomonas, crops such as canola and spinach, the model plant Arabidopsis, and we've recently added Spanish moss into the mix.
Meet some of the plants used in the lab's research
