Research in my lab focuses on cell movements during sexual reproduction and early embryonic development. My current research is on pollination and pollen cell behaviors in flowering plants. After pollen grains are captured by a flower, pollen tubes emerge from the grains, carrying the sperm nuclei to the eggs for fertilization. Studying the interplay between pollen grain structures, pollen tube behaviors and mating success has led us to questions about both biomechanics and evolution.
