Research Interests
The Comai lab studies genetics and function of plant chromosomes. We are interested in mechanisms through which plants attain genome stability and in their manipulation for efficient genome engineering. Within these overarching objectives, we investigate structure of polyploid genomes, haploid induction and uniparental genome elimination, and sex determination. Our systems include arabidopsis, potato, mint, camelina, poplar, and persimmon.
