Immaculate Kyampeire | Research Currently I am working with varieties of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, that vary in architecture, i.e., the structural relationship among leaves and pods. I want to manipulate their architecture to mimic standard agricultural practices followed in Uganda, to determine, functionally, ifand how such manipulations influence yield. For example, does the carbon that goes to the pod come from the leaf associated with that particular pod or from a set of leaves sharing the same vascular pipes? I also will use “split root” experiments where one side of the root system is inoculated with fungi, to determine whether beans preferentially allocate carbon to either rhizobia or mycorrhizal fungi as compared to aboveground organs. |
