Lachezar A. Nikolov studies how plants develop and evolve at the level of individual cells and genes, with a focus on flower structures (such as nectaries), leaf shape, and seed anatomy. The work combines single-cell profiling, genome assembly, and evolutionary comparisons across plant groups, especially the mustard family (Brassicaceae) and unusual parasitic plants. Several projects also build large-scale reference resources like plant cell atlases and evolutionary trees.
