Cell Wall Structure and Function; Control of Gene Expression Two areas in which I have a keen interest are cell wall structure and function, and control of gene expression. A potential application of data generated from cell wall research is in the area of biomass conversion, or fuels from agricultural wastes—a topic relevant to world energy issues. An understanding of gene expression and protein accumulation can potentially have an impact on crop improvement for food and non-food applications. I have worked with maize, wheat, amaranth, soybeans, alfalfa, tobacco, tomato and canola in various capacities, including transformation. However, my system of choice is maize because it is amenable to transformation, would be relevant to biomass conversion, and because I have extensive experience with maize from the cellular, molecular and biotechnology perspectives. My laboratory routinely produces transgenic events in maize. |
