R. Shawn Abrahams studies plant genetics and genome evolution, focusing on the Brassica family of crops (which includes cabbage, mustard, and related plants) and the model plant Arabidopsis. Their work examines how ancient genome duplication events (polyploidy) shaped plant diversity, and how genetic variation in defense-related chemicals (glucosinolates) is influenced by environment and geography. They have also contributed to discussions on making botany research and education more inclusive.
Publication output has been modest and uneven over the last decade, with no output before 2020 and small yearly counts (0-3 papers) since then, averaging about 1.4 papers per year over the last five years.
