Research Interests
Although much is known about the individual metabolic and biosynthetic activities of plastids, relatively little is known about how plastids integrate, regulate and coordinate these processes, many of which occur at the same time and in the same plastid. Such information is crucial as we look towards the molecular genetic improvement of crop plants for nutritional, industrial and environmental purposes. Research in my laboratory emphasizes the characterization and manipulation of the metabolic interactions that occur in the various functions of plastids. (
