Epigenetic Mechanisms of Plant Reproduction
PhD
Main Focus
Hybridization of closely related species or
plants differing in ploidy levels results in the formation of inviable seeds
due to the formation of post-zygotic hybridization barrier. My projects are
aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms that lead to the establishment
of the post-zygotic hybridization barrier.
