Joyce Van Eck in a greenhouse looking at Pysalis plants

The Van Eck laboratory uses biotechnological approaches to improve crops, such as plants in the genus Physalis, which is home to goldenberry, groundcherry and tomatillo. Groundcherries and goldenberries have potential to become more popular crops, but they have some characteristics that make them unsuitable for large-scale farming. Van Eck is leading the Physalis Improvement Project, which aims to improve the cultivation of Physalis plants by crowdsourcing information from volunteer community scientists throughout the United States
