Branching

Shoot dominance relationships lead to robust reproductive outputs

The number of reproductive structures produced by Arabidopsis and Brassica is consistent regardless of branching patterns. Inflorescences and fruits contribute to systemic regulation of reproductive architecture.

BRC1 expression regulates bud activation potential but is not necessary or sufficient for bud growth inhibition in Arabidopsis

We analyse the role of a transcription factor in shoot branching and investigate how its expression relates to plant hormones and branch growth.

Strigolactone regulates shoot development through a core signalling pathway

The plant hormone, strigolactone, regulates shoot branching. We investigate the roles of several potential strigolactone targets in shoot architecture.
