Plants sustain life on the earth. They are fascinating organisms and despite their importance there is still much we don't understand, such as how they integrate information to shape their growth and development. Plants undergo several developmental transitions throughout their lifecycle, which are sensitive to both environmental and endogenous stimuli. Within Brassica oleracea, some varieties have been documented as passing through a juvenile phase, where the shoot apical meristem is unable to respond to environmental cues that lead to the induction of flowering. Only after the plant has transitioned to the adult vegetative phase, will it respond to these cues. This project will combine sequencing techniques, genetics, phenotyping and computational approaches to unravel the control logic underpinning key stages of plant development.

植物维持地球上的生命。它们是令人着迷的生物体，尽管它们很重要，但我们仍然有很多不了解的地方，例如它们如何整合信息来塑造它们的生长和发育。植物在其整个生命周期中经历几个发育转变，这些转变对环境和内源刺激都很敏感。在甘蓝中，一些品种已经被记录为经历幼年期，其中茎顶端分生组织不能响应导致诱导开花的环境线索。只有当植物过渡到成年营养阶段后，它才会对这些线索做出反应。该项目将结合联合收割机测序技术，遗传学，表型和计算方法，以解开控制逻辑支撑植物发育的关键阶段。
