Current Research

The molecular genetic analysis of plant development, focusing on male reproduction and the events occurring during pollen and anther development. My group has used mutants that are defective at various stages of pollen development to study gene networks involved in pollen development. This has involved the localization of genetic mapping, fluorescent protein localisation, transcriptomics, ChIP analysis, direct analysis of regulatory targets and Yeast two hybrid interactions. We are currently using Systems Approaches to construct and develop regulatory networks and functionally testing the resulting networks by expression analysis, interactions and knockout studies. Work has focused on Arabidopsis however has now been translated into rice, barley, wheat and also Lilies and tropical species. Work is also in progress into the effects of abiotic and biotic stress and the role of hormones upon fertility in higher plants.

Future Research

Analysing pollen development pathways in crops.

Controlling fertility for breeding in crops Systems biology approaches to the study of pollen development. Abiotis stress on pollen development.
