- Research Description: Continuation of M.Sc. research combined with another project concerning seed source variability in tap root and lateral root vulnerability to cavitation in longleaf pine seedlings. The objective of this study was to determine the hydraulic vulnerability of roots of longleaf pine seedlings representing six different seed sources from across the natural range.- Training new graduate students on lab and field protocols.- Designing and constructing a Sperry-style… Show more - Research Description: Continuation of M.Sc. research combined with another project concerning seed source variability in tap root and lateral root vulnerability to cavitation in longleaf pine seedlings.

- Research Description: Ethylenediurea (EDU) has been used as a research tool for determining the effects of ozone on plants and has been found to deter the phytotoxicity of ozone. This was an EDU induced ozone inhibition study on the common bush bean, Phaseolus vulgaris. The focal area of this study was the targeting of the mechanisms by which EDU acts (ie. apoplastically) within P. vulgaris. - Sigma Xi Grant-In-Aid of Research (GIAR) Recipient (Fully Funded)- Experimental design and… Show more - Research Description: Ethylenediurea (EDU) has been used as a research tool for determining the effects of ozone on plants and has been found to deter the phytotoxicity of ozone.
