Our research explores the genetic, molecular, and biochemical mechanisms that regulate plant development in response to environmental cues. Specifically, we study the epigenetic regulation of developmental reprogramming, including floral transition and photomorphogenesis, in response to temperature and light. One of key questions in biology is understanding the molecular basis of environmentally induced epigenetic changes. Histone modifications, non-coding RNAs, and chromatin conformation dynamics play critical roles in this process. By investigating these mechanisms in plants, we aim to uncover broader principles of gene regulation in eukaryotes.
