Seminar: Illumination of root morphogenesis via predictive phenomics
Join this Department of Genetics, Development and Cell Biology seminar to hear Dr. Dior Kelley, asssitant professor in Genetics, Development and Cell Biology at Iowa State University, discuss a novel "proteotype" approach that leverages proteometics data to discover proteins that underpin plant phenotypes. This research is expanding genetic understanding of plant growth in response to molecular cues and generating large-scale phenomic datasets.
