Our lab combines computational and experimental approaches to reveal molecular mechanisms underlying adaptive strategies in plants. We focus on metabolic traits at multiple scales including individual genes, pathways, and networks. We also uncover novel functions, mechanisms, and pathways of 'unknown' genes (those that are not similar to any known genes), which is taking us to areas of research we never thought of studying before.

Front Matter

Register to join us for free virtual screenings of popular movies! We invite you to watch movies from the comfort of your own home. Following each screening, we welcome you to join us for a live Q & A event with filmmakers, scientists, and industry experts where you can ask questions and get the inside scoop. 

We are excited to announce that our second event, featuring the award-winning film Just Eat It will be airing live on June 28, 2023! Two days before the event, registered attendees will be provided with a link to a free digital copy of the movie, which will be accessible for 48hrs starting on June 26th. On June 28th at 3:00 p.m. PT (4:00 p.m MT, 5:00 p.m CT, 6:00 p.m ET), a "behind the scenes" panel will be held, where attendees are invited to chat with the film producer and two food waste experts. Sign up soon, because tickets will go fast! Click here to learn more and register.

Why should we study plants?

Introduction by Ruby Tebbutt, 2022 Summer Intern
STANFORD & MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
“Stanford sits on the ancestral land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Ohlone people. Consistent with our values of community and inclusion, we have a responsibility to acknowledge, honor, and make visible the University’s relationship to Native peoples.”

"We acknowledge that Michigan State University occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg – the Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples. We affirm Indigenous sovereignty and hold Michigan State University accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples."
