Team name
Environment and Plant Reproductive Development
Principal Investigators
Research Objectives
The research group's objective is to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of extreme climatic environments on plant reproductive development employing Arabidopsis thaliana and soybean as model organisms. Our approach involves the integration of cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, and other techniques to elucidate the genetic pathways governing the formation and differentiation of female gametophytes in the context of diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. We are dedicated to translating these insights into the development of novel crop varieties with enhanced traits, including high yield and stress resilience. In addition, the team is engaged in improving the whole mount smFISH technology and its application in plant biology.
