Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews Dr. Mariana López-Gordillo, a researcher combining molecular biology, biochemistry and physiology to investigate the genetics of floral fragrance in roses. She asks why so many modern roses don’t smell and how we can bring fragrance back.
Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews Dr Edel Pérez-López, a researcher combining plant pathology, genomics and artificial intelligence to develop more resilient crops and sustainable disease management.
Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews Dr Nina Bziuk, a microbial ecologist investigating how plants and their microbiomes communicate and how these interactions influence plant health and stress responses.
Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews Yago Barros Souza, a Brazilian plant biogeographer exploring how evolution, geography and environment shape plant diversity across mountains and entire landscapes.
Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews Larissa Verona, an ecosystem ecologist exploring how Cerrado wetlands connect vegetation, water and the global carbon cycle.
Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews Dr Dale L. Forrister, a chemical ecologist exploring how plants defend themselves, interact with other organisms and solve distinct ecological challenges.
Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews Dr Alyssa Stewart, an ecologist studying the diverse and sometimes surprising pollination systems of tropical plants.
Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews Dr Adaises Maciel-Silva, a Brazilian biologist fascinated with bryophytes —a group of plants that is mostly overlooked.
Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews Dr Chris Thorogood, who aims to foster a greater care and attention for plants through science and art.
Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews David Pires, a PhD candidate studying plant-parasitic nematodes and nature-based solutions for healthier crops and forests.
Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews Dr Damilola Olanipon, a plant and microbial ecologist investigating the hidden fungal networks that connect plants, support forests, and help regulate Earth’s climate.
Meeting Plant Scientists
Botany One interviews Dr Diego Paredes-Burneo, a Peruvian botanist investigating how the extraordinary biodiversity of the Tropical Andes emerged through rapid and complex evolutionary processes.
