Understanding plant abiotic stress responses, tolerance and adaptation is the main focus of my research utilising natural variation, transcriptional network inference and evolutionary genomics with the view to generate knowledge from integrated experimental and bioinformatics approaches.
Within this framework my lab works on a number of different projects involving to address different aspects of mainly drought and heat stress responses in plants:
- Network modelling
- Natural variation
- Protein glycation
- Evolutionary genomics
