Self-introduction
I'm motivated to understand how plants function at a mechanistic level. Previously, I investigated the mechanisms of leaf vein patterning regulated by auxin transport, auxin signaling, and plasmodesmata; the dynamic coordination of cell polarity during leaf vein formation; and the interlink between lipid biosynthesis and epigenetic pathways. Currently, I am focusing on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the chemical priming-induced plant stress memory.
