Working as a part of the Cropping Systems and Environment team, I set up the beginnings of a three year citrus phenology study. Using controlled environment agriculture, the aim was to "hack" citrus plants' phenology using controlled external cues for faster annual phenological cycling of a tropical perennial crop. This included both physiological monitoring and metabolomic research. Outputs of this project included plant physiological and phenological data, literature analysis, a functioning CEA room for continual use over coming years and planning going forward for refining CEA and plant hacking experimental design.
