Research Interests

Major plant hormones are identified in different classes and exist in a variety of stuctures within their classes. Namely, strigolactones are classified in different canonical and non-canonical types depending on their structure and stereochemistry. I’m interested in investigating the specific function of different strigolactones and the underlying molecular mechanism.
