Professor Jane Langdale is a leading researcher in the field of plant development and genetics, focusing on the evolutionary adaptations of plants. Her past research has utilized a variety of taxa including mosses, lycophytes, ferns, and seed plants to investigate the developmental mechanisms that influence the evolution of land plants. Currently, her work is specifically centered on dissecting the genetic mechanisms that lead to the distinctive leaf anatomy associated with C4 photosynthesis. This research aims to enhance the understanding of the developmental processes that have enabled the evolution of the more efficient C4 pathway in certain plant species, with the long-term goal of engineering C4 anatomical traits in important C3 crops such as rice. Professor Langdale is a member of the Finance Committee and holds an honorary position at Queen's College. She also leads the Langdale Lab, which is dedicated to investigating fundamental questions in plant biology.
