Positions

As a retired but active Senior Research Associate, my professional training is in plant anatomy, morphology, and whole-plant development. My field of expertise within Cornell is the study of plant structure and development. More specifically, research efforts apply developmental anatomy and morphology to the solution of both fundamental and practical problems concerning structure and development of temperate-zone fruit and vegetable plants.

research overview

  • My view is that my discipline is "applied plant anatomy," that is, I use knowledge of anatomy and plant development to help solve problems growers face in efficiently producing high quality fruits, vegetables, and seeds. Work in cytology, anatomy, morphology, and development is cross-disciplinary in that it contributes critical information to department and Cornell programs in fruit and vegetable breeding, whole-plant physiology, cultural practices, pathology, and post-harvest quality.
