Carl J. Douglas: Gene expression in plants

Carl J. Douglas: Gene expression in plants Carl J. Douglas is currently a Professor in the Department of Botany, University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver BC, Canada, and is currently head of the department, which has about 25 research faculty members. He received his Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Washington in 1983, on chromosomal virulence genes in Agrobacterium tumefaciens. He then performed postdoctoral research in the lab of Professor Klaus Hahlbrock in Cologne, Germany, working on the biochemistry of plant natural product biosynthesis, particularly phenylpropanoid metabolism. He became Assistant Professor at the UBC in 1987, and was promoted to Full Professor in 2000, having been appointed as Department Head in 1999. He was a guest scientist at the Max-Planck Institute in Cologne in 1993–1994, and a guest professor at BOKU, the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna, in 2002–2003. Since 2001 he is also project leader of the Genome BC Forestry Genomics Project. Dr. Douglas’ current areas of research interest include the regulation of plant gene expression, the diversity of pathways of plant natural product biosynthesis, mechanisms regulating the biosynthesis of plant phenylpropanoid natural products such as lignin, metabolic engineering in plants, and the differentiation of plant fiber cells, http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Biotechnology Journal Wiley
