Plant Direct Q&A with Elizabeth Haswell
Blog, Plant Direct, Plant Direct: Author Q&A, ResearchWhat does your lab work on?
My group studies the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which plants sense and response to mechanical stimuli. In particular, we focus on a class of molecular mechanoreceptors called mechanosensitive ion channels.

Blog, Plant Direct, Plant Direct: Author Q&A, Research
What does your lab work on?
We combine functional genomics with synthetic biology approaches to study the metabolism of redox-active plant natural products that can harnessed for applications relevant to agriculture and human health. We are particularly interested in specialized quinones like…
