Our research focuses on crop design by identifying novel traits and dissecting the genetic architecture of complex phenotypes using integrated multi-Omics approaches. We leverage untapped genetic diversity to enhance resource-use responsiveness and to develop resilience to climate extremes, particularly heat and drought, with the broader goal of contributing to global food and nutritional security.

A major emphasis of our work is on elucidating source–sink relationships, including the regulation of assimilate production, transport, partitioning, and storage. By integrating insights from photosynthesis, respiration, and metabolic networks, we aim to understand and optimize the physiological and genetic determinants of crop productivity under variable environmental conditions.
