The Murphy Lab
Research in this lab has focused on the
response of plant cells to environmental stress, including the mutational
effects of reactive oxygen and the ways that cells repair oxidative damage to
their genomes. Recent projects develop and apply molecular techniques to
forensic problems involving plants.
