Research currently focuses on plant gravity sensing and control systems at the cellular level.
Short term research goals include three-dimensional reconstruction of root caps gravisensing cells and analysis of plant gravity response under altered gravity conditions. Focus is on the addition of new image processing and statistical analysis tools to the current suite of software developed at the NASA Center for Bioinformatics. The new software tools are necessary in pursuit of currrent research goals. The Journal of Plant Physiology . Three-dimensional ultrastructure of lentil root cap statocytes grown in space.
