Research Interests
Quantitative genetic approaches to modifying alfalfa for:
· Bioenergy and bioproducts;
· Improved fiber digestibility for livestock; and
· Enhanced nitrate-N cycling and improved stress tolerance for use in phytoremediation and water quality protection.
Current or Planned Experiments
- Heritability of fiber digestibility in alfalfa.
- Selection for improved stem fiber digestibility in alfalfa.
- Evaluation of diverse alfalfa genetic sources for the production of fermentable sugars for ethanol.
- Selection for increased nitrate-N uptake capacity in alfalfa.
Laboratory Personnel
- Keith Henjum (Agricultural Science Research Technician)
