Research Theme 1: N2O Emissions
This theme will focus on understanding the genetic controls and the relationships within the plant-microbe-soil continuum leading to N2O emissions during growth of N-fertilizer-supplied crops and N2-fixing legumes, and on developing mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
