The project explores the genetic mechanisms behind fruit shape in the Brassicaceae family, using Capsella rubella as a model. It aims to identify genetic regulators that influence fruit morphology and enhance crop performance through targeted studies.
The flowering plants (angiosperms) evolved over 100 million years ago and quickly colonized every habitable corner of the planet.
Such success hinges largely on the formation of fruits that protect and nurture the developing seeds.
Moreover, a massive range of diversity in fruit shape arose during a relatively short time, which allowed for the development of ingenious ways of fertilisation as well as strategies for efficient seed dispersal.
The Brassicaceae family contains a wealth of diversity…
