Speaker</STRONG></U> <BR>Dr. Fenny Dane earned her B.S.
at Wageningen in the Netherlands, her M.S. at New Mexico
State University and Ph.D. at Colorado State University.
<P>Dr. Dane's research program is geared toward
unraveling stress tolerance mechanisms in plant species,
and to the investigation of the phylogeny and
biogeography of Castanea species. Dr. Dane discovered
that chloroplast (cp) DNA sequence data set patterns
were geographically structured, and has used cpDNA
patterns to explain hypothesized migration and
dispersion for chestnut and chinkapin. </P>
