Plant biologists have been slowly deciphering how plants control flowering time for over a century. Until recently the nature of the signals that cause plants to flower remained a complete mystery. Early researchers discovered that a flower-inducing substance is synthesized in leaves and then transported a long distance to the central shoot of the plant to a region of stem cells from which the actual flowers originate. My research uses the tools of molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry and genomics to better understand the nature of the flowering process. Our research revolves around the study of the maize

植物生物学家已经慢慢破译了植物如何控制开花时间超过世纪。直到最近，导致植物开花的信号的本质仍然是一个完全的谜。早期的研究人员发现，诱导开花的物质是在叶子中合成的，然后被长距离地运送到植物的中央茎部，到达真正的花起源的干细胞区域。我的研究使用分子生物学，遗传学，生物化学和基因组学的工具，以更好地了解开花过程的性质。我们的研究围绕着玉米的研究
