Anju Manandhar studies how plants manage water, from the microscopic mechanics of leaf pores (stomata) that control water loss, to how crop roots and leaves respond to drought stress, to whole-plant water transport through xylem (the plant's internal plumbing). This work spans crop physiology (maize, soybean, cowpea) and more fundamental plant biomechanics and evolutionary questions about vascular plants.
