Research Focus
The primary metabolic constituents of plants - DNA, RNA, and proteins - contain variation that can be used to:
Study plant evolution.
Evaluate classifications.
Help to establish conservation strategies aimed at maintaining maximum natural genetic variation in populations.
Our focus is on determining variation in DNA, the constituent that is the genetic foundation upon which function and structure of all organisms is based. Our research programmes are centred on:
