Molecular genetics of plant and inflorescence architecture

We are interested in inflorescence architecture and its evolution. We aim to understand the genetic networks that control the development of the…

Evolution and Development of Carpels, Fruits and Reproductive Meristems

In our group we are interested in fruit development and evolution. Our goal is to understand how carpel and fruit patterning is established, and what…

Abscisic acid signaling

ABA plays a crucial role for plant response to abiotic stress and regulation of plant growth and development. For instance, drought increases ABA…

Nitric oxide and ohytohormones in stress-development crosstalk

Plants use heavily interconnected signaling pathways to coordinate and execute different developmental and defence-related programs thus ensuring the…
