Research

Developing Populations of cultivated soybeans (Glycine max) crossed with wild soybean (Glycine soja) to expand diversity in the soybean gene pool. I also am characterizing abiotic stress responses of wild soybean and identifying sources of resistance using gene expression studies. These sources can then be used to design crosses and characterize progeny.
