Grant Award to Explore Tomato Sugar Allocation

I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded a Graduate Student Grant through the Professional Enhancement for Emerging Researchers (PEER) program, funded by the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station.

My research, titled 'An integrative approach towards improving tomato development by utilizing cytokinin as a tool for sugar reallocation,' will investigate how plant hormones control source-sink allocation. I look forward to contributing to our understanding of tomato development and exploring new avenues for crop improvement. Read more about current research projects here.
