Doctor of Philosophy (University of Queensland)

Stephanie completed her undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of Queensland where she investigated the role that the plant hormone strigolactone plays in the regulation of shoot architecture in garden pea (Pisum sativum). She is now employed as a Research Associate in Horticultural Tree Genomics at Queensland University of Technology where she will be functionally characterising genes involved in flowering and precocity in horticultural trees. This project aims to develop tools for improving flowering and precocity in tree crops that will directly benefit the horticultural industry in Australia and worldwide.
