This project examines the evolution of the oilseed crop gold-of-pleasure (Camelina sativa) and its wild relatives.
This research examines the origin and evolution of the North American "lost crop" little barley (Hordeum pusillum), a close relative of common barley that was once widely used as a food source by Native Americans.
