Utilizing a diverse scientific community to study intensive
and important topics using comparative genomics with the
Solanaceae as it provides a unique set of crop species that
is important to:
-Investigate plant response to abiotic stress, biotic stress
and development (done)
-Integrative team of geneticists, breeders, genomicists,
bioinformaticists, biologists to be poised to tackle important
issues in translational genomics as it pertains to the
Solanaeae (done)
-Ready to move to more applications in the field, breeding,
basic biology, evolution
Present
Past
