Area of Science:

  • Plant biology
  • Developmental genetics

Background:

  • Leaves are crucial for global carbon fixation.
  • Plant leaves are morphologically classified as simple or compound.
  • Compound leaves are increasingly studied using model systems like tomato and pea.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying compound leaf development.
  • To construct testable models of compound leaf development.
  • To explore the role of knotted-like homeobox (KNOX) genes in leaf morphology.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of mutations affecting leaf morphology in model species (tomato, pea).
  • Genetic and molecular studies of leaf development.
  • Investigation of phenomena like heteroblasty and heterophylly.
