Molecular pathways of peptide signals in plant development

About

In plants, cell-to-cell communication is mediated by chemical signals, including hormones, small RNAs and signaling peptides perceived by their cognate receptors. My lab aims to uncover key peptide signals that control plant growth and adaptations in eudicot and monocot species.
