| Richard
N. Arteca, Professor of Horticultural Physiology |
| |
To study the molecular regulation and signal transduction
pathways involved in the plants response to externally applied
stimuli; To explore the use of different bioreactor designs
for the growth of commercially important horticultural crops
and to maximize secondary metabolite production including pharmaceuticals,
agrochemicals and other novel compounds produced by cell and
organ cultures. |
