. Louis, Mo., sends Laurie-Berry's BIOL 358 Plant Physiology class millet seeds with random mutations. Student teams study plants in PLU’s warm, sunny greenhouse, watching for genetic traits that help millet grow taller or produce more seeds.“The Danforth Center is crowdsourcing genetic research,” Laurie-Berry says. “We’re helping Danforth go through thousands of seeds, identifying which are worth studying. No one knows how each one will behave.” PLU students are joining high school and undergraduate

Seanna HewittI graduated from PLU in the spring of 2014 with majors in Biology and Hispanic Studies. A semester away in Oaxaca, Mexico led me to recognize my interest in promoting food security, and greatly influenced the avenue I took for my graduate career. I am now beginning my fourth year in the Molecular Plant Sciences PhD program at Washington State University, where I am studying the genetics and physiology of fruit ripening. As part of my thesis project, I am developing a set of

systems. Much of my past research has focused on interactions between herbivores and algae in marine systems. This has included studies of geographical gradients of herbivorous fish diversity and how temperature effects on physiology may play a role in driving this pattern and the effects of fisheries and disease on sea urchins and kelp forest ecology. My current research projects include studies of the community ecology of rocky shores of Puget Sound, disease ecology of sea urchins, and larval

April 1, 2013 The plant Arabidopsis thaliana produces seeds so minuscule that 5,000 can fit on a thumbnail. This past summer student-researchers Bryan Dahms ’13 and Ben Sonnenberg ’14 counted more than 30,000 seeds as part of a study.
