Post Doctoral Researcher

San Diego, California
I am pursuing my Post Doctoral research at the University of California, San Diego, in Prof Julian. I Schroeder's lab. Currently, I am investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate CO2-controlled stomatal movements in plants. This study can enhance the knowledge necessary for molecular marker-enhanced targeted plant breeding with increased growth and water use efficiency. The ability to control the opening and closing of stomatal pores in response to carbon dioxide is important for developing the resilience and yields of crop plants in the face of harsh weather conditions and groundwater scarcity and droughts that are becoming more frequent in many agricultural regions globally.
