The regulation of electron transport and photoinhibition in chloroplast of transgenic cotton plants
overexpressing the key antioxidant enzymes targeted to the chloroplast stroma:
superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR).
Projects presently under investigation involve (a) attempts to improve the rapidity with which photosynthesis of cotton recovers after exposures to chilling or drought and high light intensities; (b) attempts to improve photosynthesis and cotton fiber cellulose synthesis with exposure to cool nights; (c) the study of starch storage in cotton stem and root.
Workshop on chlorophyll fluorescence analysis 
for our current projects.
