About me

No roots left behind! The sweetpotato's root system architecture integrates internal, environmental, and management determinants of storage root yield, quality, and shape attributes. Root architectural adaptations to biotic and abiotic stress variables provide insights about traits associated with resilience and adaptability. The long-term goal is to develop tools for manipulating root system architecture for increased nutrient efficiency and resilient sweetpotato yields for fresh and processing markets under diverse and changing environments.
