1. Plant responses in natural and agricultural ecosystems to global climate change and abioitic stress.
2. Genomic regulation of plant ecological strategy.

This will enhance understanding of how the environment impacts ecosystem goods and services including biodiversity, productivity, water cycling and food supply. To do this we combine molecular, biochemical, physiological and ecological tools to assess plant performance in manipulative field experiments and controlled environment chambers.

Currently most of our research is done at:

• Institute for Genomic Biology

• SoyFACE
