Corrie Hanhart

Corrie Hanhart is a dedicated researcher affiliated with the Laboratory of Genetics, specializing in plant genetics and molecular biology. With a focus on genetic variation and phenotypic traits in model organisms like Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica rapa, their work addresses fundamental questions in organellar genetics and quantitative trait mapping.

• Key Research Areas: Genetic Divergence, Phenotypic Variation, Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL), Seed Dormancy, Organellar Genomics
• Current Role: Research Officer at Laboratory of Genetics

Over the past decade, Corrie’s research has centered on understanding genotype-environment interactions in plants, particularly through the creation of genetic maps and analysis of photosynthetic performance. Their publications in high-impact journals like PNAS and Journal of Experimental Botany highlight collaborations with leading experts in plant science.

Their recent 2024 publication explores species-wide organellar variation in Arabidopsis thaliana, while earlier works from 2010-2014 investigate seed dormancy, QTL mapping, and drought responses in Brassica species. These studies collectively advance knowledge of plant adaptation and agricultural productivity.
