University of Nebraska-Lincoln biochemist Rebecca Roston is working to identify the properties and pathways underlying a plant’s ability to thwart ice-cold temperatures, with the long-term goal of enabling scientists to engineer freeze-tolerant crops. Roston earned a five-year, nearly $850,000 Faculty Early Career Development Program award from the National Science Foundation to advance this work.
