Research

Transition of floral dimorphisms
Plant signaling especially as it relates to the response to gravity
The use of genetic, genomic, proteomic and bioinformatic strategies to identify novel signaling components

In the Wyatt Lab, we use molecular, genetic and genomic tools to study plant growth and development.

Gravity is a fundamental stimulus governing plant growth and development. Normally, when plants are reoriented with respect to gravity (placed on their side), the shoots bend up and the roots bend down. We use a cold "trick" to isolate the molecular components that respond to the gravity stimulus. The gravity persistent signal (gps) mutants are the star of this show. We have further exploited the GPS response to use genomic and proteomic analysis for global gene discovery. And, of course, the true control for gravity responses is a lack of gravity. In 2014-15, we were privileged to "fly" an experiment aboard the International Space Station. And in 2017, we have another spaceflight opportunity to dissect the molecular components of gravity perception.

Other projects in the Wyatt lab involve the shift between chasmogamous (open) and cleistogamous (closed) flowers in Viola pubescens (with Harvey Ballard).
