Rachel Combs‐Giroir

This researcher studies how crop and related plant species respond to environmental stress, particularly waterlogging and flooding, using genetic, physiological, and molecular approaches. Much of the recent work focuses on soybean and pennycress (a potential oilseed crop), examining genes and traits related to stress tolerance, seed composition, and reproductive timing. The research combines field-level physiological measurements with transcriptomic (gene expression) and metabolomic (metabolic profiling) techniques.

Publication output was low or absent in the mid-2010s to early 2020s but has increased notably since 2024, suggesting a recent growth in research activity.
