Link to Curriculum Vitae
My basic
research interests are in the chemical ecology of plant-insect
interactions and the influence of their environment. I am investigating
the role of symbiotic root microbes in the interactions between
plants and herbivores. Currently, I am using the soybean-rhizobia
relationship to distinguish the mechanisms that may lead to different
induced responses to herbivores on inoculated and non-inoculated
plants.
