Edwige Moyroud studies the mechanisms that account for pattern formation in petals at the molecular, cellular, biophysical and ecological levels. The colourful patterns on the petal of flowering plants are key to attracting pollinators and as such participate directly in the reproductive success of a species. Learn more
