Research Overview
I have been interested in how small RNAs, DNA methylation, and chromatin modifications regulate plant reproduction and safeguard fertility under stress, contributing to crop resilience. My current work explores how epigenetic strategies such as targeted DNA methylation and histone modification can be applied to synthetic plant chromosomes, with a focus on stable centromere insulation.
