Plant metabolism and metabolic engineering at MSU

Members of the Plant Metabolism Group and their research

The Plant metabolism group at MSU is a informal interdepartmental group of researchers with common interests in plant metabolism and its engineering.

A One-paragraph summary of the research interests of each of us.

Christoph Benning
Regulation of thylakoid lipid and seed oil biosyntheses, interorganelle lipid trafficking;   Familiarity with Arabidopsis genetics or genomics will be helpful.
Dean DellaPenna
 
Greg Howe
Regulation of defense metabolism in response to jasmonic acid; Oxylipin metabolism in tomato; Molecular and biochemical basis of plant-herbivore interactions;
Ken Keegstra
 
Biosynthesis of plant cell wall polysaccharides; regulation of polysaccharide synthesis and cell wall deposition.
Lee McIntosh
 
John Ohlrogge
 
Yair Shachar-Hill
Non-photosynthetic one carbon metabolism and metabolic engineering in Arabidopsis; Mycorrhizal (AM) metabolism. Experience in NMR, metabolism, analytical Biochemistry.
Andreas Weber
