DESCRIPTION:Plants grow in a variable and noisy environment\, including fl
 uctuating light\, nutrients and temperature. Plants also have a noisy inte
 rnal environment\; genetically identical cells can display noisy\, or vari
 able\, gene expression. My lab is interested in how plants can either mini
 mise or amplify the effects of their noisy internal and external environme
 nt. \n\nFirst\, we use the circadian clock as a model system to understand
  how genetic circuits can be robust to noise. Second\, we are studying how
  plant gene networks may amplify small differences in the external and int
 ernal environment to generate phenotypic variability. For all this work we
  examine gene expression in individual cells or individual plants\, rather
  than at the level of populations of plants\, in order to avoid the dynami
 cs being averaged away.\n
