The Snider Cotton Physiology Lab addresses a range of research topics of importance to stakeholders. The 3 main areas of emphasis are:
Abiotic Stress Physiology
- Much of the Snider Cotton Physiology Lab’s research has been devoted to deepening understanding of the physiological response of the cotton crop to yield-limiting abiotic stresses, with a particular emphasis on water and temperature stresses.
