The Rose research group has been developing a suite of functional genomics and proteomics tools to advance cell wall research; identifying and characterizing novel cell wall proteins with diverse and currently unknown and unexploited functions. We are now developing a more comprehensive catalog and functional inventory of the plant cell wall proteome, or secretome, using fruit development and ripening, and potential bioenergy crops and two key experimental systems. Our lab is also heavily invested in sustainable biofuels research, developing analytic methods for profiling wall composition and bioethanol potential of diverse feedstocks. We are taking a lead role in coordinating biofuels research among Cornell plant scientists.
