个人简介

I first became interested in plants after visiting the Amazon rainforest in 1991. I developed a fascination with how plants used environmental light cues to signify potential competition from nearby plants and seasonal progression. During my PhD (1992-1996) with Prof. Garry Whitelam at Leicester University I studied the molecular pathways that sense light signals and trigger physiological responses. Subsequently, as a postdoctoral research associate (in Prof. Peter Quail’s lab,USDA, Berkeley) I identified light pathway signalling components and later discovered a link between light and temperature signalling. I started my own lab in 2000 with a Lectureship position at Bristol University where I studied light and hormonal signal integration. Following a move to Edinburgh University as a Senior Lecturer (2004), Reader (2011) and Professor (2015) the scope of my research broadened to include light-temperature interactions and mathematical modelling. My lab continues to work on signal convergence, and we are now striving to determine how the photoreceptor pathways control carbon resource partitioning. We feel this is important as the phytochrome light receptors are major regulators of resource allocation to biomass in field crops
