Ken is interested in the following:

Water, and the physiology of plant responses to water availability, is the focus of my research and that conducted by the students and postdoctoral associates in my lab.  Our chief research area is tree responses to water stress, and Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI) under field conditions... ah, our two chief research areas are tree responses to water stress, Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI) under field conditions, and fruit growth.....three, three, our three chief research areas are: 1)  tree responses to water stress, 2) Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI) under field conditions, 3) fruit growth and 4) pre‑ and postharvest fruit water relations.  Yes, those are our four chief research areas - there is no other, with the exception of the direct measurement of fruit cell turgor with the pressure probe...OK, maybe one other.  Anyway, my research program is also strongly focused on methodology development, particularly in-situ psychrometers and the use of the micro‑pressure probe for cell water relations and other studies (...and any other methods that need developing).
