Bio

Plastoglobules exist within chloroplasts - as well as many other plastid subtypes - and appear to be essential for photosynthetic life. The Lundquist Lab seeks to bridge basic and translational research by unravelling the relationship of these dynamic particles to plant (a)biotic stress response and nutritional quality. Our research will result in important knowledge to be harnessed for improving the productivity and nutritional quality of crops through enhanced stress tolerance, photosynthetic performance, nutritive value, and by the application of metabolic channeling for production of high value compounds and biofuels.
