PLS 475A/575A Physiology of Plant Production under Controlled Environment

PLS 579X/ABE579X Applied Instrumentation for Controlled Environment Agriculture with Dr. Gene Giacomelli.

Her research interests include:

1)  Manipulation of plant growth and development by environmental control

2)  Value added plant production under controlled environment

3)  Long distance transportation and low temperature storage of transplants

4)  Physiology of grafted seedlings for greenhouse crop production

5)  Photoautotrophic micropropagation
