Research Emphasis

Landscape Water Conservation

Dr. Genhua Niu is an Assistant Professor in Urban Landscape and Water Conservation at the El Paso Agricultural Research and Extension Center (AREC) and Department of Horticultural Sciences.  Her research areas include determination of minimum water requirement for urban landscape plants (trees, shrubs, and ground covers) for maintaining a healthy landscape; identification of drought and salt tolerant, low-water use plants; water-efficient urban irrigation systems; and propagation of landscape plant materials.

Dr. Niu received her Ph.D. at Chiba University, Japan, in Horticulture.  Prior to joining TAMU, she worked at Alternate Crops and Systems Lab, USDA-ARS, Beltsville on modeling water stress and elevated carbon dioxide concentration on corn plant growth and development.  She also worked for a private company on micropropagation and nursery crop production in South Carolina: and floriculture crop production in Michigan State University, Department of Horticulture.
