For Dean DellaPenna, researching medicinal plant genes is like working 
with a giant puzzle.

DellaPenna, an MSU biochemistry professor, will oversee research at MSU 
looking at gene expression in plants to determine which genes create the 
biochemical compounds used for medical purposes. Ginseng, periwinkle, 
belladonna, echinacea and foxglove are among 14 plants at the center for 
the research.
