Deciphering the environmentally- responsive plant epigenome

The Zander Lab investigates the responsiveness of the plant epigenome to environmental cues focusing on the mechanisms through which transcription factors (TFs) reshape the chromatin landscape at their target genes. This knowledge will enable engineering of transcription factor functions to advance precision breeding efforts.
