The Wagner Lab is delighted to receive yet another fantastic addition to our team. Dr. Sarah Matar joins us after defending her PhD thesis on the vernalization-driven transition to flowering in winter rapeseed in the lab of Dr. Christian Jung of the Plant breeding institute in Kiel University in Germany. In the Wagner Lab, we look forward to her work on understanding the antagonistic roles of FT and TFL1.
