Professor Dominique Bergmann (Biology)

Plants are dependent on their ability to sense and respond to their surrounding environment. In such processes, stomata play a crucial role by controlling the flux of gases between plants atmosphere. Stomatal development and function have been independently described at a molecular and physiological level, but there remains a void in explaining fundamental connections between those paradigms, especially the environmental inputs that direct both. The goal of the Bergmann lab is to elucidate these multi-scale relationships controlling stomata to improve our understanding of plant systems biology and plant-environment interactions.
