Genetic dissection of bioenergy traits in maize and sorghum
Dr. Wilfred Vermerris,Genetics Institute andAgronomy Department, University of Florida.
Host: Dr. Candace Haigler.
Research in Dr. Vermerris’ lab is focused on gaining a better understanding of the relationship between plant cell wall structure and function. Mutants and transgenics with altered cell wall composition are used as a tool to investigate this relationship in a number of species, including maize, sorghum, sugarcane, and poplar.
