Lead projects involving evaluation of abiotic stress – drought, salt,
cold, and heat, high CO2 –tolerance, and yield potential of Arabidopsis, cotton, sorghum, soybean, common bean, and corn in greenhouse and field conditions.
The primary goal is to develop stress resilient sorghum and cotton by the use of signaling molecules and genetic engineering.
