Teaching:

Origin & Diversity of Life 1; Plants, Fungi & Symbiosis 2, Developmental Biology 3, Genes and Genomics 3, Plant Science 4. Graduate course in molecular genetics techniques.

Research Interests:

We use the genetic models Antirrhinum and Arabidopsis thaliana to examine the basis for natural variation in plant form.

We are also interested the genetic mechansism that control leaf development and how these have evolved.
