معرفی
Addie M. Thompson is an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University, affiliated with the Plant Resilience Institute, Genetics & Genome Sciences Program, and Molecular Plant Sciences Program. Her research focuses on maize and sorghum genetics, phenomics, and environmental response, with agricultural applications in drought tolerance and climate resilience.
- Degrees: B.S. from Iowa State University, Ph.D. and postdoc from University of Minnesota, postdoc from Purdue University
Research Focus: Thompson's lab investigates genotype-environment interactions in maize and sorghum, integrating quantitative genetics, phenomics, and modeling to address agriculturally relevant questions. Key areas include drought stress response, plant morphology, high-throughput phenotyping, and computational breeding tools.
Publication Trends: Her recent work spans maize/sorghum comparative genomics, hyperspectral disease detection, climate-resilient breeding strategies, and computational tools for multi-objective breeding optimization.
Grants & Projects: Thompson contributes to USDA-funded corn tar spot resistance research and a $2.7 million Department of Energy project on plant genetics.
Laboratory: The Thompson Maize Lab develops digital phenotyping technologies and physiological models for crop improvement.
