Main research topics
Elana Kramer is interested in the evolution of floral morphology.
Floral developmental genetics of Aquilegia and the Ranunculaceae: Many members of the family Ranunculaceae have two distinctly different types of petaloid organs.By examining the evolution of the AP3 and PI gene lineages across the family Ranunculaceaec we have demonstrated that two ancient duplications in the AP3 lineage gave rise to three paralogous lineages.
Developing Aquilegia as a new model species: The genus Aquilegia has been the subject of ecological, evolutionary and genetic studies for over 50 years and five major features of Aquilegia make it an exciting species to make a model system.
