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).
