内容

Research in my lab focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of plant development, particularly root development in Arabidopsis thaliana. The main emphasis is on lateral root formation, a prime example of post-embryonic organogenesis that enhances plant’s ability to forage for nutrients and stabilize their anchoring.
Our work integrates studies of hormone signaling (especially auxin), mechanical forces, cellular dynamics, and gene regulation. Our current and future research focuses on three main questions:
1. How do abutting lateral root founder cells coordinately polarize and swell?
2. How the direction of organ axes is set during post-embryonic growth?
3. How do cell growth and division contribute to the emergence of cell identities?
In my talk I will present recent results related to these points.
