Welcome to Odd-Arne Olsen´s lab
Our focus is on the function of the DEK1 calpain in land plant develpment and evolution, endosperm developmental biology including transcriptomics and bread wheat genomics and evolution.
We apply multi-disciplinary approaches to address core problems in our research areas with collaborators possessing relevant technical and intellectual expertise.

Our projects
DEK 1
We aim to contribute to the understanding of DEK1 function by determining the structure of DEK1 protein and to identify its calpain substrate(s).
Endosperm development
During our long lasing interest in nuclear endosperm we have addressed a number of aspects, including the biochemistry of starch synthesis, cell biology, genetics, developmental biology ...
Wheat genomics
The bread wheat was one of the last of the large international cereal crops to be sequenced owing to its allohexaploid genome with a very high content of repetitive DNA.
