Research project funded by NIGMS to study the molecular mechanisms and evolution of phenotypic plasticity in pea aphids, focusing on developmental processes influenced by environmental cues and genetic factors.
Description
This project addresses the mechanistic basis of phenotypic plasticity and how those processes evolve, using the pea aphid as a model organism. It aims to decipher molecular mechanisms underlying plasticity and its evolution, with implications for understanding traits influencing human health and disease.
