Welcome to the Chromatin Dynamics and Developmental Transitions group !

How do higher plants deploy flexible and adjustable developmental programs?

 

         Our research work is dedicated to this question, studying the functions of regulators acting on cell fates. The functions we are interested in operate within the nucleus, contributing to differential usage of the genome via gene expression control.

         Our developmental model, characterized by drastic gene expression changes, is the organogenesis at Arabidopsis shoot apex, which is governed by major nuclear reprograming events that determine stem cell fates.
We use an integrative approach connecting developmental processes, transcriptomes/epigenomes and molecular/atomic properties of individual protein regulators and complexes. For this, we combine our expertise in plant molecular genetics and chromatin biology with local skills and infrastructures for biochemistry, biophysics and structural biology.
