Zhiyang Zhai of Brookhaven Lab's biology department has been awarded early career funding from the Department of Energy's Office of Science to explore how a key enzyme regulates plants' metabolic processes. The work could lead to strategies to increase the synthesis and accumulation of oil that can be harvested as a net-zero carbon fuel.
