Plant Sciences
Dr. Bryant's Research Interest: Genomics, structural and
functional relationships, metabolism, physiology and ecology
of chlorophototrophic bacteria.
Dr. Golbeck's Research Interest: Biophysical studies of electron
transfer mechanisms in photosynthetic prokaryotes.
Dr. Gu's Research Interest: The utilization of biochemical,
molecular genetics, and spectroscopic approaches to
decipher mechanisms of cellulose biosynthesis.
Dr. Kao's Research Interest: We use Petunia inflata as a
model to study biochemical, molecular, and structural bases
of a self/non-self recognition mechanism between pollen and
pistil adopted by flowering plants to prevent in breeding and
promote outcrossing.
Dr. Weinert's Research Interest: The understanding of how
the globin coupled sensor protein family senses oxygen and
transmits the binding signal into downstream events.
