We're using genetics, biochemistry and deep sequencing to understand how plants sense and respond to temperature. We mainly work with the model plants Arabidopsis thaliana and Brachypodium distachyon, but we are also keen to breed crop plants resilient to climate change. We are particularly interested in understanding how chromatin state influences transcription. We work hard, but have fun too.
We are Wigge Lab. Join us!
