Amaranthus tricolor
Focus on plant metabolism, growth, and evolution
Faculty address diverse areas of plant biology. Their work investigates molecular regulation of the photosynthetic pathway in C4 plants, biosynthetic pathways of plant products that are important as pharmaceutics, growth in difficult or contaminated environments, evolutionary biology by combining state-of-the-art genomics with molecular analyses to understand plant origins and diversification.
Faculty in the Plant Science Group include Drs. Victor Albert, James Berry, Charlotte Lindquist, and, Zhen Wang.
