Glowacka to use phenotyping to research cold-weather resistance in miscanthus
A University of Nebraska-Lincoln biochemist is using plant phenomics techniques in novel ways to further her research.
Katarzyna Glowacka, assistant professor of biochemistry, received a five-year, nearly $1.4 million grant from NSF’s Faculty Early Career Development Program. She will delve into the role non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) plays in enabling miscanthus to fend off cold-induced damage.
