Research Area
  • Plant molecular biology/Plant physiology
Research Theme
  • Our laboratory investigates plant-specific growth regulation from an evolutionary perspective using the model liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. Specifically, we focus on mechanisms underlying the expression of plant totipotency, regeneration and dedifferentiation, stem cell formation and maintenance, and the role of the plant hormone auxin in these processes. We also explore how plant growth is optimized in coordination with photosynthetic activity. To address these questions, we employ a combination of molecular genetics, biochemistry, and imaging techniques.
