OverviewAI-generated summary
Leala M. Machesney's research focuses on plant physiology and cultivation, particularly concerning the effects of environmental factors on plant development and quality. Her work includes investigations into substrate properties, such as the evaluation of peat blended with pine wood components for their impact on physical characteristics, nitrogen immobilization, and plant growth. Machesney has also studied the influence of forcing temperature on the development rates and quality of container-grown plants, including blackberry and pepper varieties. She has developed a temperature-based model for scheduling long-cane blackberry crops and has examined the effects of cold storage and forcing strategies on flower and fruit development in blackberries. Machesney collaborates with researchers including Ryan W. Dickson and Margaret Worthington at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, and Amanda McWhirt at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
