Plant Genome Diversity Volume 1: Plant Genomes, their Residents, and their Evolutionary Dynamics
by Jonathan F. Wendel, Johann Greilhuber, Jaroslav Dolezel and Ilia J. Leitch
This is a first-of-its-kind synopsis of the exciting and fast moving field of plant evolutionary genomics.
Wendel named winner of the International Cotton Genomics Initiative's award “for outstanding contributions to cotton genomics”
Welcome to the Wendel Lab!
Research interests in my lab encompass molecular and genome evolution, phylogenetics, and phenotypic evolution of higher plants. In our laboratory we use a diverse set of technologies and approaches to explore the manner in which genomes change over evolutionary time, as well as the relationship between these events and morphological change. We have a particular interest in the mysterious and common phenomenon of polyploidy, with a special focus on the cotton genus.
I hope you explore our web page and enjoy what you find. If you have any questions about our research or opportunities in our lab, please email me at jfw@iastate.edu.
