Plants make an amazing array of chemical structures, and we are interested in working out how they do this, plus how we can develop them to make useful molecules. I have two main areas of interest, one focused on understanding the regulation of processes associated with seed germination and the other focused on discovering and improving the production of high value chemicals in plants. Current projects range from lipid signals and transcription factors that control seed dormancy and germination to the development of novel oilcrops such as Jatropha curcas and medicinal crops such as Artemisia annua and Papaver somniferum (opium poppy).
