The primary focus of the research in our lab is on plant responses to the environment We are interested in the molecular mechanisms as well as in the implications for agriculture and global change research. Currently, we have projects that focus on 1) The roles of phytochromes as regulators of adaptive plasticiy in plant canopies, [more +] 2) Plant-herbivore interactions and defense responses mediated by the jasmonates, [more +] 3) The effects of solar UV radiation on plant and ecosystem function.
