Research Interests:
Hormone signal transduction and responses
The plant hormones gibberellin regulates various developmental processes throughout the life cycle of the plant. Our lab studies the mechanisms of gibberellin signaling and responses, including root elongation in tomato and Arabidopsis. We also study the role of gibberellin in plant response to environmental stresses.
Major projects
- Gibberellin signal transduction in tomato.
- Gibberellin, DELLA and ABA in plant response to abiotic stresses.
- Gibberellin and root growth.
