About the Lab
Although many factors involved in seed development and seed sizes/numbers have been identified, the precise mechanisms of how plants accomplish seed development and control these seed traits are largely unknown. Using the confocal microscopy real-time live-cell imaging approach, we are investigating the molecular mechanisms, cellular dynamics, and evolution of land plant sexual reproduction, especially focusing on stages from fertilization to early seed/embryo development.
We are recruiting students who want to do research for ABT301/395/396, PLS395, or BIO199/395/398. Please contact Dr. Tomo (tomo.k@uky.edu)!
