Well, my research concentrates on genetic engineering for the improvement of major crops.

[Not animal/plant hybridization. So she never met that dick Jason Woodrue.]

By developing plants with genes from hardier non-crop plants, we can improve uptake of water and nutrients so that crops can grow in poorer soil, or introduce natural desalination functions so that crops can grow in saline soil reclaimed from flooding. I believe that we can double or even treble food production, by creating new hybrids that can grow in soil that farmers would consider completely infertile now.
