Cell shape acquisition in plants
Our research aims at elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of plant morphogenesis via understanding the process of cell shape acquisition and its associated signalling pathways. We particularly focus on auxin transport and signalling and cell wall function in cell shape acquisition. Most of our work is established on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana but we also work on poplar and lupin.
