Josette Masle

Josette Masle is a researcher at The Australian National University's Research School of Biology, where she leads the Masle Group, focusing on environmental sensing, systemic signaling, and development in plants, particularly in the context of drought resilience. Her research explores the interplay between genetic and environmental factors in plant development and morphogenesis, emphasizing how plants coordinate cellular processes to adapt to environmental signals. Her work integrates molecular biology, genetics, and physiology to understand regulatory networks governing plant responses to stress. She has conducted extensive research on root-shoot communication, mechanical stress, and drought signaling, with a focus on improving plant resilience through genetic and physiological mechanisms.
