Research Interests:

My research focuses on cyclical reproduction strategies such as masting and gregarious flowering, the evolution and trade-offs of clonal versus asexual reproduction, and the extent to which somatic mutation accumulation contributes to genetic diversity in clonal species. Bamboo serves as an ideal study system for these questions.
