Anna Stepanova

Bio

Stepanova’s foundational research centers on plant hormones, specifically the mechanisms of ethylene signal transduction, auxin biosynthesis, hormone pathways’ crosstalk and translational regulation of hormone responses. In her work, she is employing classical and molecular genetics, genomics and synthetic biology in Arabidopsis and tomato to decipher the mechanisms governing plant adaptation and phenotypic plasticity. She is also engaged in developing methods and genetic resources to facilitate plant biology research.
