Dianne Pater

Assistant Professor of Biology

My teaching and research interests include plant physiology, climate change effects on agriculture, and science communication. By studying the natural variation in stress responses and phenotypic plasticity of cultivated plants and their wild relatives, we can identify traits that will maintain crop production under increasing environmental stress.
