U.S. Germany Cooperative Research: Elucidation of the Mechanism of Detoxification of Metolachlor: Differential Degradation and Transport of Enantiomers

0089747 AgaThis奖支持Diane阿加和内布拉斯加大学科尔尼分校的学生与德国波恩大学农业化学系的Rudolf Schneider合作。 该项目与PI现有的化学部CAREER奖相协调，并将重点关注立体化学在异丙甲草胺降解中的作用，异丙甲草胺是欧洲和美国常用的除草剂，这是一个高度互补的合作，因为PI带来了分析实力和土壤科学专业知识，而Schneider博士拥有植物代谢方面的专业知识，可以提供实际的植物生长测试样品。 该项目还促进对初级研究人员的教育和培训，在他们职业生涯的早期为他们提供国际经验。

0089747AgaThis award supports Diane Aga and students from the University of Nebraska-Kearney in a collaboration with Rudolf Schneider of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry at the University of Bonn, Germany. The project is coordinated with the PI's existing CAREER award from the Chemistry Division and will focus on the role of stereochemistry in the degradation of metolachlor, a commonly used herbicide in Europe and the U.S. This is a highly complementary collaboration because the PI brings analytical strength and soil-science expertise while Dr. Schneider has expertise in plant metabolism and can provide actual plant-grown test samples. The project also fosters education and training of junior researchers by providing them international experience early in their careers.
