About the lab
We are a research group at the IPMB, Academia Sinica interested in using bryophytes
and flowering plants as models to understand their morphological adaptations during
the aquatic-to-terrestrial transition. In particular we are focusing on understanding
(i) How do small signalling peptides contribute to cell-cell communications to facilitate
the establishment of growth and predetermined patterns?
(ii) How is such signalling information affect the cell wall remodelling and eventually
controls cell shapes/sizes?
