Ethylene is a key plant hormone that integrates developmental and environmental signals to regulate growth, root development, and stress responses. My research centers on how ethylene signaling pathway regulates root development in Arabidopsis. I used ethylene signaling mutants and time-based expression studies along with a transcriptomics approach to identify genes modulated in response to ACC (precursor of ethylene) and identified a mechanism controlling root development in the absence of ethylene.

Eva Shouse [email protected] I am interested in cytokinin signaling in rice. My work focuses on the function of the histidine kinases, which serve as cytokinin receptors. I am using a suite of CRISPR knockouts in the HK genes in rice to parse the function of each HK gene in both vegetative and reproductive development. Naveen Kaur Chana
[email protected] Land plants adapt to their environment through morphological changes driven by directional growth, which is accomplished through expansion of the cell wall. The arrangement of load-bearing cellulose microfibrils within the cell wall determines the dimensions of wall expansion. I use genetic, cell biological, and biochemical approaches in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to investigate how the protein SHOU4 inhibits Cellulose Synthase (CESA) exocytosis to negatively regulate cellulose deposition. |
