How do organisms adapt to different environments?  We are interested in understanding the genetic and molecular changes that take place as organisms adapt to different environments.   Which genes change, what types of genetic changes occur, and how do these changes affect the organism at the biochemical, physiological, and ecological levels?
Our goal is to understand how circadian clocks work and why they play such a key role in growth and development. We study the regulation and role of circadian rhythms in plants and alga. Circadian rhythms are necessary for optimal growth and survival in several photosynthetic species, including ''Chlamydomonas rheinhardtii'', ''Synechocystes'' sp. and ''Arabidopsis thaliana''. Although circadian clocks share a basic architecture, they differ in their molecular components and appear to not to be conserved between different taxa.


Since plants are rooted in their environment, they are particularly adept at coping with their environment.  Furthermore different species, and populations within species, have adapted to different environments.  Therefore plants are well suited for studying adaptation mechanisms.
We work on the model plant ''Arabidopsis thaliana'' and have recently started analyzing rhythms in the heterokont alga ''Nannochloropsis oceanica''.  


Because light is fundamental to plant growth, we have focused on how plants sense and respond to environmental light cues.   We are focused on light perception by the phytochrome photoreceptors.   Phytochromes sense red and far-red light and provide information about the density of neighboring foliage (among other things).

We work on ''Arabidopsis thaliana'' and related species and use a combination of molecular genetic, quantitative genetic, and molecular evolution techniques.  Please see [http://www.naturalvariation.org naturalvariation.org] for information about some of our collaborators who are taking similar approaches.

Our goal is to understand how circadian clocks work and why they play such a key role in growth and development. We study the regulation and role of circadian rhythms in plants and alga. Circadian rhythms are necessary for optimal growth and survival in several photosynthetic species, including Chlamydomonas rheinhardtii, Synechocystes sp. and Arabidopsis thaliana. Although circadian clocks share a basic architecture, they differ in their molecular components and appear to not to be conserved between different taxa.

We work on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and have recently started analyzing rhythms in the heterokont alga Nannochloropsis oceanica.
