Education: |
| B.S., National Chung-Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan, Botany, 1975; M.S., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA, Plant Physiology and Weed Science, 1977; Ph.D., Auburn University, Auburn, AL, Agronomy and Soils, 1982 |
Current Research: |
| The primary thrust of current research is to understand seedling and tree physiology with emphasis on photosynthesis, photoprotection, and carbohydrate metabolism. Several pine and hardwood species are being investigated using biochemical, physiological, and chemical techniques. Plants under various environmental stress, such as water, fertility, light, and temperature, are of special interest. Both belowground and aboveground parts of a seedling or a tree are being analyzed. Interaction between host pines and ectomycorrhizal fungi is being studied utilizing chemical assessment (ergosterol) of live fungal biomass. |
Collaborative Research: |
| Photosynthesis and carbon metabolism in wetland hardwoods, or trees grown with different cultural practices. |
