Research Focus:

The Locke lab is interested in crop-environment interactions, especially abiotic stress.  We study G × E interactions among diverse soybean germplasm and aim to identify mechanisms that determine stress tolerance and seed composition.  Our current projects include:

  • Determining environment-specific benefits and trade-offs of soybean drought tolerance traits
  • Minimizing carryover herbicide damage to soybean production
  • Optimizing management practices for nitrogen metabolism and seed protein
  • Investigating abiotic stress impacts on seed composition
