Dr. Penelope Tricker is a researcher at the University of Reading, specializing in plant physiology, epigenetics, and environmental science. Her work explores how plants adapt to changing environmental conditions, particularly elevated CO2 levels and low relative humidity, through molecular and genetic mechanisms. Collaborations with scientists like G. Taylor and P. Hadley have led to significant studies on stomatal development, biomass, and photosynthesis in species such as Populus and cacao.
Her research on the epigenomic plasticity of plants has revealed critical insights into RNA-directed DNA methylation and gene suppression under stress conditions. Publications in journals like Journal of Experimental Botany, New Phytologist, and Oecologia highlight her contributions to understanding plant-water relations, transgenerational epigenetic effects, and bioenergy crop sustainability.
