I started working with Populus as an undergraduate at WVU and have gone on to do a master's thesis on the field performance of transgenic poplar for biofuel feedstock use. I've been lucky to participate in both field and greenhouse experiments along with establishing my own field study of 25 transgenic lines made up of over 600 Populus tremula x alba trees to evaluate stress inducible promoters in low moisture conditions.
