Deciphering plant adaptation to environmental stress through transcriptional complexity. We integrate molecular biology, RNA research, and systems biology to engineer the next generation of climate-resilient crops.
Unraveling the complex regulatory networks that control alternative splicing under environmental stress conditions.
Studying cold, heat, and drought responses in Arabidopsis, tomato, and tree models to understand adaptation mechanisms.
Using graph theory and network science to model transcriptional complexity and regulatory interactions in plant stress responses.
Investigating how plants coordinate with soil microbiota at the molecular level to enhance stress tolerance and nutrient acquisition.
Our research focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which plants respond to diverse environmental stresses. Ultimately, we aim to leverage these insights to strategically manipulate target genes, advancing biotechnology for applied agriculture and the development of climate-resilient crops.
Integrating multi-omics data to understand how transcriptional networks respond to environmental perturbations and drive adaptation mechanisms.
Investigating the biochemical basis of alternative splicing regulation and its role in generating transcriptional diversity under stress conditions.
Developing algorithms and tools for analyzing high-throughput sequencing data to identify novel regulatory patterns and splice variants.
Our laboratory uses network analysis and graph theory to model the complex relationships between genes, transcripts, and proteins in plant stress responses.
By mapping molecular interactions as networks, we identify key regulatory hubs and predict how environmental perturbations affect transcriptional complexity across plant species.
