Brian P. Dilkes studies plant genetics and molecular biology, focusing on how genes and hormones control traits like growth, development, and stress responses in crops such as maize, sorghum, and Arabidopsis (a widely used model plant). His work combines genetic mapping, hormone chemistry, and image-based phenotyping (measuring plant traits from photos using computer methods) to link DNA variation to observable plant characteristics.
