Plant hormones and shoot development dynamics
My group explores how self-organization enables robust dynamic development in plants. To do so, we study how hormones drive the dynamics of rhythmic morphogenesis at the shoot apex. We use interdisciplinary approaches, ranging from quantitative live imaging, biosensor development, functional genomics and structural biology to modelling, in order to unravel how these developmental signals act across scales to build a robust shoot architecture.
