Lynda F. Delph studies how plants reproduce and evolve, with a particular focus on species that have separate male and female individuals (dioecious plants) or a mix of females and hermaphrodites. Her work examines sex differences in plant traits, the genetics of sex chromosomes, and how plant populations diverge and form reproductive barriers. A recurring study system is the flowering plant genus Silene, including detailed work on its sex chromosomes and genome.
Publication activity has been fairly steady but modest over the past decade, averaging under two papers per year in the last five years.
