This project aims to understand hybrid incompatibility in plants, particularly in Arabidopsis thaliana. By studying genetic interactions and their effects on plant development, the research seeks to uncover the molecular basis of hybrid vigor and its implications for agriculture.
While the discovery of hybrid vigor was one of the most important breakthroughs in modern agriculture, failure of many wide crosses limits the beneficial traits that can be introduced into crops.
My goal is to understand the molecular and biochemical basis of hybrid incompatibility within, and also between, species.
My first focus will be to characterize a particularly interesting incompatibility (identified in the laboratory of Prof.
Weigel), in which offspring develop ectopic outgrowths (tumor…
