Liz Mays, undergraduate student
Liz is working towards a degree in Ecology, Evolution and Organismal Biology at KU. In the Hileman lab, she is contributing to our understanding of Penstemon flower color evolution in two ways. First by undertaking anthocyanin extractions and chromatography analysis for flowers in an F2 mapping population, and second by exploring the role of an anthocyanin pathway gene in a key Penstemon species.
