Projects - Nowicki Lab

What’s cooking in the Nowicki Lab right now?

2022
- 01 Jun 2022 - Undergrad Student summer research project
  Why did Callery pear escape?
2021
- 01 Sep 2021 - Aerial detection of invasive callery pear
  In this endeavor, researchers from SE U.S. will collaborate on aerial detection of invasive Callery pear.
2020
- 01 Jan 2020 - Evaluation of genetic diversity of Asian callery pear
  In this endeavor, Shiwani (MS student) is evaluating species diversity using de novo gSSRs. We accrued samples of non-cultivated P. calleryana from Asia. Molecular markers will be tested for cross-amplification to related species as well.
2019
- 01 Aug 2019 - Eastern Redbud chlorotyping and diversity assessment
  Chloroplast DNA haplotying of redbuds is expected to provide lineage and spread data, inaccessible with nuclear DNA SSRs.
2018
- 01 Aug 2018 - Diversity of Eastern Redbud, Cercis canadensis, native to US
  MS thesis project of Meher A. Ony. Includes two major objectives, (1) gSSR selection and redbud fine-scale study, and (2) genetic diversity assessment across the species native range.
