Expertise

Our research focuses on the role of pyruvate kinase, the final reaction of glycolysis, in regulating glycolytic flux in the cytosol and the plastid in tissues with different biosynthetic demands. Ultimately, we anticipate applying our understanding of pyruvate kinase regulation of glycolytic flux towards the engineering of central metabolism for enhanced nutritional quality of plant foods
