Professor R.J. Neil Emery

My research investigates the physiology of organ specific processes (seed set and filling, branching, root water uptake, leaf stomatal conductance) and how they interact at the whole-plant level. Investigations, so far, have involved everything from small herbs to crops and mature trees. The results have implications for crop farming practice and the well-being of natural ecosystems.
