01 / FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISMS
Molecular mechanisms of plant regeneration
How do wound responses, cellular reprogramming, and cell-fate specification restore plant tissues?
I investigate how plants detect injury, initiate cellular reprogramming, and establish new cell identities to rebuild tissues and meristems.
Wound perception and signaling
Define how cells sense damage and coordinate the responses that initiate regeneration.
Cellular reprogramming
Elucidate the molecular networks that enable differentiated cells to acquire regenerative competence.
Cell fate and meristem re-establishment
Determine how new cell identities are specified and organized to restore functional meristems.
