Distinguished Professor David Tissue is a plant physiologist with >35 years-experience assessing plant response to environmental conditions, including temperature and water stress, in managed and native ecosystems and has published > 235 peer-reviewed papers on these topics. He is Scientific Research Director for the National Vegetable Protected Cropping Centre (NVPCC), Program 2 Scientific Research leader for the CRC Future Foods project and Discipline Leader for Agriculture and Food Science. He has conducted projects on cotton response to elevated CO2, temperature, drought, flooding and heatwaves in the field and controlled environments. Prof Tissue has mentored more than 30 graduate students and 15 post-docs.
