Information for prospective students:

Some of the current projects we are working on include:
(1) Cytokinins in seed development of grain legumes
(2) Hormonal control of reproductive effort in natural plant communities
(3) Chemical signalling between micro-symbionts, pathogens and plants

We use whatever techniques are required to get the job done - usually a mixture of field, physiological, molecular and genomic approaches. As a member of Trent’s DNA centre (NRDPFC) we have access to outstanding instrumentation for gene expression and DNA marker work (i.e. real-time PCR, microarray chip maker & reader, sequencers etc.) and the latest in mass spectrometry (i.e. LC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS) through Trent’s Water Quality Centre.
​
If you are interested in joining our lab, you need curiosity about plant function 
and a willingness to learn the techniques.
