Prof. Ian T. Baldwin answers the “why questions” of plants and the creation of drugs, through rigorous scientific study surrounding the tobacco plant Nicotiana attenuata which grows in Kayenta’s botanical neighborhood.
Thanks to the long-term patient funding of the Max Planck Society in Germany, Ian T. Baldwin and his students have developed a fire-chasing native tobacco plant, Nicotiana attenuata, which grows in Kayenta’s botanical neighborhood into a model for the rigorous scientific study of the “why questions” surrounding plants and drugs. These science-grounded examples of the creativity of natural selection underscore why nature preserves, such as those at the Lytle and DI Ranches, are invaluable laboratories for the study of gene function.
