Lab information
Our developmental biology questions include regulation of gynoecium shape, number, and size. We mostly use the Arabidopsis as a model system, but also study other species, such as fish. We use RNAseq and CHIP methods to study gene networks involved in gynoecium development.
Research focus
Evo-Devo and gynoecium development.
