Cell Wall and Epidermal Integrity Group

According to the classical understanding of plant gas exchange, the uncontrolled loss of water from plant aerial organs is restricted by epidermis that is covered by a hydrophobic layer called cuticle. Because of these properties, the majority of plant gas exchange occurs through stomata. Consequently, composition of cuticle and fast guard cell signaling are thought to be the major factors limiting transpiration from leaf surfaces.

My group expands this classical model by stydying various cell wall mutants. Our results indicate that modifications of cell wall structure and composition can affect plant gas exchange independently of cuticle synthesis and guard cell function. Our research is curiosity-driven and involves mainly forward genetics approaches. Should you wish to discuss our research topics in more depth please contact me directly.
