‘The ability of plants to survive extreme environmental conditions is impressive, and the study of genomes could provide key clues about the molecular signatures associated with these adaptations.’
‘My aim is to study plant science with an integrative approach to discover and elucidate genetic and biological mechanisms needed for the next generation of environment and climate-resistant crops.’
The federal research group, established at Texas Tech by the U.S. Congress in 1988, is a partnership between the university, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Wildlife Management Institute, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
