Our research focuses on the reprogramming of cell identity and function during developmental transitions and in response to environmental inputs in plants. Reprogramming offers a window of opportunity to unravel the regulatory logic that underlies cell fate and function as existing programs are shut down and new ones are put in place. Plants are an excellent experimental system to study reprogramming as they tailor their final form and cell function to the environment to optimize growth and survival. Understanding how to reprogram plant architecture and stress responses will enable precision tuning of adaptability and resilience of in changing environments. We use genetic, epigenomic, computational, molecular, spatial transcriptomics, biochemical and synthetic biology approaches to study this question.
