"Carbohydrate partitioning serves as one of the central biological processes supporting food production, biomass accumulation, and many agricultural products derived from crops."
Meet the guest: Dr. David Braun is a Professor of Plant Science and Technology and Biological Sciences at the University of Missouri and Director of the Interdisciplinary Plant Group. His research focuses on genetic and molecular control of carbon partitioning in maize and sorghum, including how sugars move from leaves to developing tissues.
