Professor

The transformation of a small number of pluripotent floral stem cells into a flower is a complex process involving coordinated cellular behaviors and broad morphological changes. We are studying the roles of a family of AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE (AIL) transcription factors in this process using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
