Understanding the inheritance of various chemical and agronomical traits in basil using diversity panel and bi-parental populations.
 

Discovery of the biosynthesis pathway of the unique volatile compounds responsible for the aroma of fresh coriander leaves.
 

Characterization of the active compounds in species belonging to the genus Hypericum that are native to Israel. The plant Hypericum perforatum L., also known as Saint John's wort, contain several active compounds with hypericin being the most studied being helpful for mild to moderate depression. This project aims to use metabolic diversity within the genus to elucidate the biosynthesis pathways of hypericin.
 

Breeding for coriander and basil with prolonged shelf-life utilizing broad genetic diversity and wild genotypes.
 

Understanding the underlying genetics and genomics which designed chemical variation in seed spices from the Apiaceae family.
