RESEARCH INTERESTS while in the Bennett Lab
My research in the Bennett lab
was focused on the characterisation and cloning of the snakeskin (sks)
mutant in Arabidopsis. In sks there is a breakdown in
the epidermal cell-cell linkages of the shoot and root that leads to changes
in epidermal cell architecture and distribution. These include alterations
in pavement epidermal cell shape, stomatal distribution and trichome morphology.
I have characterised this mutant using TEM, SEM, cell wall analysis and
a variety of GUS marker lines.
