Research Areas of Our Group

The Theißen group is mainly interested in evolutionary developmental biology. Our evo-devo model system is the angiosperm flower. To find out more about our aims and projects, please follow the flower links:

	A floral homeotic polymorphism in Capsella - studying a hopeful monster
	Evolution of regulatory networks controlling flower development: MADS get physical!
	Class B floral homeotic genes and the diversification of the orchid flower
	MADS-box genes and floral architecture in tulips
	The evolutionary developmental genetic basis of fruit dehiscence in Brassicaceae
	Evolutionary significance of Bsister genes
	Evolutionary developmental genetics of norway spruce variety Picea abies 'Acrocona'
	Molecular Evolution of MADS-domain proteins
	Evolution of spliced miRNAs in plants
