Frances C Sussmilch International Plant Molecular Biology Conference 2024

Frances C Sussmilch

Dr Frances Sussmilch is a molecular biologist at the University of Tasmania, associated with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture. She is currently establishing a collaborative research team at UTAS, funded through the ARC DECRA and Discovery Project schemes. Dr Sussmilch’s team uses a range of diverse land plants to investigate the evolution of genetic mechanisms that control the opening and closure of stomatal pores, and enable plants to acquire CO2 for photosynthesis but prevent excessive water loss when water is limited.
