Busch lab "aims to help plants grow bigger, more robust root systems that can absorb larger amounts of carbon by burying it in the ground in the form of suberin, a naturally occurring carbon-rich substance. The team uses cutting-edge genetic and genomic techniques to develop these Salk Ideal Plants™️ to fight climate change"
