Research interests

My group at present is involved in research on the model legume, Lotus japonicus.  We are concentrating on carbon partitioning and on secondary metabolism. We have generated numerous mutants using both forward and reverse genetics especially mutants in starch metabolism, sucrose breakdown and isoflavonoid synthesis.  For this research, we make extensive use of our reverse genetics TILLING platform. We also operate metabolomics as a platform technology for the Centre and use it as a discovery tool for all our research.

For links on pea research go to peas.ac.uk, for Lotus research go to lotusjaponicus.org and for reverse genetics go to revgenuk.jic.ac.uk. For past research programmes on peas, starch or mosses, go to my archive.

See more information on our new reverse genetics platform at my home page.
