Research Interests:
Dr. Kellogg uses molecular techniques, particularly DNA sequencing, and also morphological and biochemical techniques, to work out evolutionary relationships within the grass family (Poaceae) and to use these relationships to study the evolution of floral morphology and carbon assimilation pathways in plants.
