Evolution of stress tolerance in plant populations
About
I am a plant evolutionary ecologist interested in how genetic diversity can determine how pathogens and abiotic stress shape plant population constraints. In particular, I am interested in mining diversity in wild plant populations to understand and improve stress tolerance in cultivated plants.
