Main research interests

Research in my lab focuses on understanding the regulatory processes that underlie events that occur during embryo and seed development.  A major interest is in understanding control of the maturation phase of seed development. To these ends, we are defining the gene regulatory networks that operate in regions and subregions of the seed at specific developmental stages.
