Covers the groups current research into 'fundamental aspects of plant physiological responses and adaptations to environmental variation and environmental stresses, including global climate change.'
  
• An Explanation of Plant Hormones An alternative view of plant hormones. This opinion is not part of current scientific thinking but proposes a broad theory on the role of plant hormones in plant life.

• Madore Lab - Plant Metabolism and Physiology The Madore Lab, University of California, USA researches plant carbohydrate metabolism, especially the unusual form of translocated sugars,e.g. raffinose family oligosaccharides. These oligosaccharides have been found in many plant families, however, their roles and metabolism are not well understood. They also research amino acid metabolism in plants since it is closely related to carbohydrate metabolism in terms of substrates and energy resources.
