Current Research
I am interested in using 15N enriched fertilizers for inexpensive, partial metabolic labeling of maize in vivo. This unique procedure provides an internal control and fewer separate sample preparation steps compared to in vitro labeling. My current work is to assess incorporation of 15N in multiple maize tissues (leaf, stalk, root, kernel) and establish a technical foundation for a quantitative proteomic comparison of brown midrib lignin-deficient mutants and wild-type W64A plants.
