Molecular Genetics Assistant Professor Anna Dobritsa’s new, three-year $772,000 NSF grant supports research on processes that are not only interesting to plant biologists, but to materials scientists.

Dobritsa, who also is affiliated with the Center for Applied Plant Sciences, is PI on the project, “Pollen apertures as a model for formation of distinct extracellular domains.” Heather Owen, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, is co PI, and Adriana Dawes, assistant professor, molecular genetics, mathematics, and MBI, is a collaborator.
