Biography
David Smyth works in the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University as an Emeritus Professor.
David's research areas of interest are:
- How genes regulate the morphogenesis of flowers.
- Using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model species to uncover regulatory genes.
- Understanding the structure and function of the PETAL LOSS protein, its regulation, and to uncover the signals involved in petal initiation.
