Description: Studies the mechanisms and evolution of polyploidy and genome function. Polyploidy can be found throughout the evolutionary history of all eukaryotes, including many plants and some animals.
Circadian Rrhythms and Heterosis Polyploidy and Hybrid Incompatibility The goal of the research in the Chen laboratory is to elucidate at the mechanistic level of the advantages and disadvantages of and their impact on crop domestication and production. The understanding of these phenomena is among the grand challenges in plant biology and is vital to agriculture, food production, renewable energy, the environment, and human health. Most crop plants including wheat and cotton are polyploids, and many others such as maize are ancient polyploids and/or are grown as hybrids. Using genomic and molecular biology approaches, we investigate how and why the genomic mixture and
