Funded Activity Summary

The origin and evolution of the land plant meristem. This project aims to identify the extent of overlap between the genetic determinants of the gametophyte and sporophyte shoot meristems. The project expects to generate new knowledge of the evolution and development of land plants by applying comparative genomics and new technologies to a novel model genetic system. Expected outcomes include an elucidation of the genetic basis for one of the key morphological adaptations for life on land. The ability to manipulate the growth and development of plants via the activity of meristems based on fundamental principles has broad agricultural implications.
