Research in our laboratory centers on the developmental genetics of plant reproduction. We are interested in both sexual reproduction and apomixis, a form of asexual reproduction through seeds. We use genetic and molecular approaches to identify genes controlling the underlying developmental processes using Arabidopsis thaliana and maize as model systems. Our studies have shown that both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms play a key role in plant reproduction. The long term goal of our research is to elucidate the role of positional information, cell lineage, cell-cell communication and epigenetic regulation of gene expression in plant morphogenesis and cellular differentiation.
