Our research targets key stages and mechanisms of plant reproductive development, including its resilience to temperature stress, communication between male and female reproductive partners, genome stability, and responses to environmental signals. We apply a comprehensive methodological framework combining molecular and cell biology, genetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and phylogenetics. In response to current global challenges, such as climate change, we are increasingly focusing on the development of experimental strategies to increase the resilience of plant reproductive structures and their potential applications in crop breeding. While Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum remain our primary model species, we also study tomato, pear, Amborella, Physcomitrium, and seaweed, often within collaborative frameworks.
