Because of its superior biological and genomic resources, Arabidopsis offers a unique opportunity for the analysis of natural variation. There is now an
Angela is an undergraduate working on fine-mapping QTL in Arabidopsis. She is using marker-assisted selection to rapidly produce nearly-isogenic lines.
Scott has been working on ecological and evolutionary studies of bluebonnets (Lupinus texensis) and their nitrogen fixing bacteria (Bradyrhizobium). In
Frank is generally interested in the genetic mechanisms involved in speciation and reproductive isolation. For his M.S. he evaluated local adaptation and
Vaughan just finished his PhD in the Plant Biology program at UT in Alan Lloyd’s lab. His dissertation focused on the molecular basis of quantitative traits
I am interested in plant function and its implications in ecology. My work has largely been focussed on the ecophysiology of C4 grasses, addressing the role
