Malika Ainouche - Curriculum Vitae#
Malika Ainouche is broadly interested in plant evolution, with particular interest in the role and impacts of hybridization and genome duplication on population divergence and speciation. Her resear also aims to understand the genomic determinants of plant invasive abilities, and the impacts of polyploid genome dynamics on ecologically important functions.
