The project studies how multiple extrinsic signals are integrated to control root growth in Arabidopsis thaliana and how natural genetic variation affects these growth pathways, using high-throughput root phenotyping and genetic analysis.
Description
This project aims to elucidate how multiple environmental signals are integrated to regulate plant organ growth and how genetic variation influences these processes, with broader implications for understanding growth regulation in multicellular organisms.
