Congratulations Ramesh, and to the whole team!

Transcripts and genomic intervals associated with variation in metabolite abundance in maize leaves under field conditions - BMC Genomics Plants exhibit extensive environment-dependent intraspecific metabolic variation, which likely plays a role in determining variation in whole plant phenotypes. However, much of the work seeking to use...

Students say they’ll keep working on papers after graduation. I tell them I'll understand when (not if) they don’t. Life happens. But there are exceptions. Ramesh left my lab nearly a year ago, but kept pushing. His 1st thesis chapter was just published. bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Grateful to work at a university that has on campus cornfields. Greenhouses and growth chamber are good and all. But sometimes need something more. Our lab will be planting our first proper summer corn nursery since 2021 this year.

Current students and the students of one of my former trainees (Ravi Mural) together at ASPB midwest. If I'm still professor-ing a decade from now perhaps I'll be meeting and working with some of the students trained or scientists mentored by the folks in this photo.
