Claudia Uhde-Stone Faculty Profile

Specific research questions we are currently pursuing are:

• How can some plants grow where other plants can not?

• How do plant roots and shoots communicate with each other?

• Do plants have a memory, and can they learn?

• How can some plants live forever?

To explore these research questions, we are using a wide variety of experimental approaches that include next-generation sequencing, genome editing with CRISPR-Cas, qRT-PCR, proteomics, bioinformatics, and plant learning set-ups. If you are interested in our research, feel free to e-mail me!
