Visiting PhD student in 2019-2020

I am a PhD student of plant ecology. I’m interested in plant behavior, my PhD thesis focuses on the mechanism of habitat selection of clonal plants in heterogeneous UV-B environments, and if UV-B epigenetic memory takes part in habitat selection of clonal plants. In my current research, I am investigating how long the drought stress memory can maintain in plants based on epigenetic. The overall goal of my research is to investigate if the epigenetic memory effects plant behavior.
