"Seeds are the foundation for civilization" T. G. Chastain
That is why I have focused my work on plant seed. Growing plants is an art, while knowing how plants grow is the science. My job will be teaching you the science behind the art. My interests include seed crop production, seed crop ecophysiology, and seed development.
