Using gene expression to understand productivity and resilience in the shoot apical meristem

  Research Group: Molecular Biosciences
Project Description. Extreme weather events can have profound effects on plant growth. One strategy for survival is the plant's capacity to preserve it's stem cell populations so that it can resume growth when favourable conditions return. Read more
