Chris Roelofsen

Chris Roelofsen is a Researcher at the Laboratory of Cell Biology, Wageningen University & Research, focusing on plant genetics, developmental biology, and molecular mechanisms in tomato reproduction. His work explores gene functions like AP1/FUL-like genes and their roles in meristem specification.

Research trends include transcription factors, anthesis, meristem development, and cladistics, with collaborations across institutions. His recent publications in New Phytologist (2025) and Plants (2023) highlight studies on gene expression and inflorescence branching in tomatoes.

Scientific contributions are linked to datasets in RNA-Seq and gene regulatory networks, emphasizing deeply conserved non-coding sequences in developmental coordination. Collaborations span agricultural and biological sciences, with network activity in orthology and Arabidopsis research.
