To divide or not divide? The importance of division to hair formation in plants.

The project aims to compare regulation of multicellular hair development in tomato with single-celled hair development in Arabidopsis and to establish how the induction of DNA replication without cell division (endoreduplication) came to be the key regulatory step in hair development in Brassica species like Arabidopsis.

Application deadline: 25th November 2019.
