The Plant Genomics Group seeks to explore and understand the network of genes, proteins, metabolites, and environmental signals that lead to complex phenotypes in forest trees. Our systems biology approach relies upon modern molecular genetics and genomics techniques and focuses on black cottonwood, Populus trichocarpa, as the reference organism. We strive to integrate (conceptually and through the use of multi-scale models) whole-plant, cellular and subcellular studies of tree growth and development in an effort to address the plant- and ecosystem-based energy and environmental needs of the country.
