Plant germplasm conservation

http://www.ars.usda.gov/pandp/people/people.htm?personid=6056

I am responsible for the coordination of germplasm curation at the Plant Introduction Station. I curate herbaceous and woody ornamental plant collections. I conduct research on seed regeneration methods, nectar and essential oil plants, and on the relationships between climate and woody plant adaptation.
