Research
I work in the blueberry genetics lab. Research projects I am currently working on involving differential gene expression in tetraploid blueberry floral buds freeze treated to different temperatures at different developmental stages as the buds de-acclimate. I am also looking at floral bud genes from bud initiation to bud break in two diploid species.
