I am interested in how epigenetics, an additional level of genome regulation beyond the DNA sequence, impact various plant processes, particularly reproduction and fertility. My current research focuses on how epigenetics and genomic variation may have contributed to breeding strategy transitions in Capsella species. Previously, I have worked in Arabidopsis to understand why DNA methylation mutants show decreased fertility and how DNA methylation may contribute to photosynthetic regulation under different light regimes.
