RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:
Using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system and techniques derived from molecular genetics, genomics, proteomics, cell biology, physiology and biochemistry, we investigate the molecular mechanisms that govern root growth behavior in response to mechanical stimuli including gravity and touch.
