My research explores how epigenetic information is established, transmitted, and interpreted during reproductive development. I am particularly interested in RNA-directed DNA methylation and the movement of small RNAs between maternal and filial tissues in seeds. Using Brassica as a system and FISH-based approaches to visualize RNA movement, I investigate how maternal tissues may influence endosperm development through small RNA-mediated epigenetic signalling. More broadly, my work aims to reveal principles of intergenerational epigenetic communication.
