Sarethy View MoreDr. Julie Kang has received his PhD in University of Toronto during the period of 2005 currently, she is working as Assistant Professor in University of Northern Iowa.
Dr. Julie Kang research program is to understand the evolution and homology of leaf shape and vein pattern. We use a variety of plant species to investigate this correlation. Some of projects include: 1. Investigating the evolution of compound and simple leaves in the genus Ampelopsis (Vitaceae). Homologous structures are studied using histological, molecular, and morphometric techniques. 2. Analyzing vein pattern in compound leaves of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Vascular marker genes, AtHB-8::GUS and DR5::VENUS, is used to visualize developing vascular strands so that vein pattern can be mapped during leaf development. 3. Morning glory leaf mutants are analyzed to determine how morphogenic competency along the blade margin changes based on leaf shape.
