Amanda Cardoso

Bio

Leads a Crop Physiology Program focused on identifying climate-resilient crops, uncovering strategic resilience mechanisms, and generating knowledge on best management practices for plant production under adverse weather. Plant systems of interest include row and horticultural crops.

Courses: CS 714 – Crop Physiology: Plant Response to Environment.
