PI, Aaron Rashotte
I am the Principal Investigator (PI) or head of the lab. My interests are in plant growth and development and the hormone cytokinin. Specifically I am focused on understanding the function of CRFs, both from a perspective of their role with cytokinin and in development. My developmental slant is toward gaining  better knowledge of leaf development both in a simple leaf system (Arabidopsis) and in a complex leaf system (tomato).
