Good afternoon, I’m a masters student at the University of Florida with Dr. Luke Flory and Dr. Deah Lieurance. My research explores growth-defense trade-offs in cultivars of Lespedeza cuneata. I’m reaching out to see if there are any Ecolog members who might be able to complete chemical analysis of leaf samples for my project. At this time, we are thinking specifically about foliar tannin content, total phenolics, and total protein content. We will likely have approximately 50-60 samples for each analysis and will be able to pay for this analysis.
If you have the ability to run these samples, please contact me directly at tpe...@ufl.edu. We can discuss sample preparation and the cost per sample for each analysis. Please pass this along to anyone who may be able to help. Thank you for your help.
