Research
The Mu lab aims to understand the genetics, development, and environmental regulation of agronomically important traits听in听maize听and sorghum. The ultimate goal is to genetically improve crop resilience and production under climate variability.听To achieve this goal, we employ听approaches from quantitative genetics, genomics, molecular biology, genome editing, and bioinformatics.
