Dr. Vanessa Wahl

Group: "Metabolism and Development"

Dr. Vanessa Wahl’s group focused on how metabolic and nutritional status affects developmental transitions in plants. In particular, They were interested in processes at the shoot apical meristem (SAM) that regulate meristem size and the timing of the floral transition. Wahls’ group used Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system in order to understand basic mechanisms. They applied this research also to study the regulation of developmental transitions in the crop species Solanum tuberosum (potato).
