Dr. Haoran Peng
Epigenetic Mechanisms of Plant Reproduction
PostDoc
Main Focus
My
research delves into unraveling the intricate connections between transposable
elements (TEs) and plant reproduction, with a specific focus on understanding
their biological functions and evolutionary dynamics within the Brassicaceae
genome. I am particularly intrigued by the role of TEs in generating siRNA and
influencing the binding sites of transcription factors.
