Faculty specializing in crop, forage, and turfgrass physiology and biochemistry examine the mechanisms influencing plant growth, development, and stress responses to environmental challenges like heat, drought, pests, and air pollutants. Their research explores the chemical and biochemical foundations of these processes, including nutrient absorption, distribution, and usage, plant-water interactions, secondary metabolite functions in pest resistance and quality, growth regulation, seed sprouting, root and shoot development, as well as flowering and fruit production.
