About

Professor Andrew R. Leitch is a faculty member in the Department of Plant Genetics at Queen Mary University of London, UK. His research focuses on plant genetics, specifically the effects of nutrient interactions, genome size evolution, and hybridisation impacts on native species. Recent publications include studies on plant diversity loss, genome characteristics in grasses, and the evolution of giant plant genomes.
