Plant Science & Landscape Architecture Professor Emeritus

Research Interests

  • Processes that control the movement of the phytohormones auxin, brassinosteroids, and ethylene precursors to regulate programmed and plastic plant development
  • Mechanistic function of ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters
  • Dynamics of substrate interactions with transport proteins and their lipid environment
  • Integration of light and gravity responses and modification of auxin fluxes by environmental stress
  • Interactions of plant defence and developmental signalling
