How Modifying Plant Functions Can Promote Sustainable Production Methods

In this episode, we are joined by Robin Buell. Robin is the Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar Chair in Crop Genomics at the University of Georgia. She sits down with us today to discuss topics relating to plant genomics.

Robin has been studying plant genomics since 1999, and over the years, she has cultivated an interest in how we can use plants directly as fuels. Understanding the genome of plants is allowing researchers like Robin to modify their function into something entirely different…
