Research summary
AI-generated

Denise Caldwell's research focuses on plant biology, including the genetics of leaf and leaflet development in soybean, molecular interactions between plant pathogens and crops such as maize, and how plants like tomato respond to simulated microgravity conditions. The work combines genetics, plant pathology, and plant physiology to understand how plants grow, defend against disease, and adapt to unusual environments.
