What happens to the food we grow when water grows scarce and temperatures rise?? Connor P. Soderstrom has been trying to figure out a piece of that puzzle. He'll present what he has found in his talk, “Physiological responses of lettuce and sweet pepper to combined water deficit and heat stress.”

Connor is a Ph.D. student in the lab of Allen Van Deynze and Theresa Hill. This is just one topic in our Plant Reproductive Biology Seminar series.

Everyone is welcome!
