RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:
We use strategies derived from molecular and population genetics, systems biology, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology and physiology to characterize the molecular mechanisms that govern complex root growth behaviors and their contribution to root system architecture in response to combinations of endogenous and environmental cues such as hormonal signaling, gravity, touch, water and nutrients availability.
