Work related to gene function discovery in a high-throughput pipeline. Listed as a co-inventor on the published United States Patent Application entitled “Genes and Uses for Plant Improvement”, application No. 11/087,099. Abstract: “Transgenic seed for crops with improved traits are provided by trait-improving recombinant DNA where plants grown from such transgenic seed exhibit one or more improved traits as compared to a control plant.
