Research Interests

In our lab, we focus on adapting various crops from the cucurbit family to climate change by incorporating tolerance traits from wild accessions. Thousands of years of yield-focused breeding have led to the loss of traits that enhance plant resilience and tolerance. By employing physiological and spectral tools, we aim to identify and characterize these valuable traits and integrate them into modern crops.
