The Lee Lab aims to understand cell signaling and gene regulatory networks in the plant vascular stem cells (procambium/cambium) that eventually govern growth of stems and roots in apical and radial directions.
Current research topics are as follows:
1. Investigation of the cell-to-cell movement of transcription factors that governs the patterning of xylem and phloem in Arabidopsis root and their molecular function
2. Unraveling gene regulatory networks in the vascular stem cells, which are responsible for cell proliferation and cell type specification during the radial growth
3. Genome-wide search to find gene lesions involved in agronomically important traits of a root crop
