Mr

Dear attendees of PB2023.
My name is Ansar Ali and I am a graduate student enrolled in Taiwan International Graduate Program jointly run by Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology, Academia Sinica and National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan. Our laboratory is interested in cell division and fate determination and we use Arabidopsis leaf epidermis and particularly stomata lineage as a model system. Our basic and long term aim is to develop environmentally resiliant leaf epidermis in quickly changing climate. We believe that resistant epidermis in plants can be one way to cope up the food issues in future.
