LAS research thrives despite funding shortfalls

Joshua Strable, assistant professor in the Department of Genetics, Development, and Cell Biology, received $1,035,762 from the National Science Foundation Plant Genome Research Program to investigate fundamental questions in plant biology concerning floral patterning and meristem termination in maize (corn).

Once complete, Strable’s work will generate a resource for the plant sciences and breeding communities that will further enable functional plant genomics, crop improvements, and applied outcomes in agriculture.
