Research Interests

My research program at USDA-CSRL-PSGD focuses on characterizing abiotic tolerance traits of major crops (maize, sorghum and cotton) for heat and drought stresses, ranges from field-based physiology, metabolism to genetic and genomic studies. The long term goal of the projects is to expand the current knowledge and existing hypotheses in heat and combined heat and drought tolerance, leading to the formulation of novel concepts, and the development of improved germplasm and crop varieties.
