Area of Interest: Plant Biology
My principle research interest is photosynthesis. Currently I am interested in purifying and characterizing enzymes of the dark reactions of photosynthesis. I have also recently initiated some cytological and biochemical investigations into the nature of the association of the actin cytoskeleton and the chloroplast.
Student Projects:
1. Purification of phosphoriboisomerase
2. The actin cytoskeleton in corn bundle sheath cells
