Jane Alison Langdale FRS is a Professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Oxford.[10] and a Senior Research Fellow at The Queen's College, Oxford.[11][12][13][14][15]

Education

Langdale was educated at a grammar school in Coventry[11] and the University of Bath, where she was awarded an Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Biology.[11] Her PhD was in human genetics and carried out at St Mary's Hospital Medical School[11] and Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School.[16][17] and awarded by the University of London.[18]

Career

Following her PhD, Langdale was employed for five years as a postdoctoral researcher at Yale University with Tim Nelson.[19]. She returned to the UK in 1990, to work in the Deparment of Plant Sciences where she has worked since.

Research

Langdale's research interests are in two main areas:

  1. the evolution of leaf development and meristem function in bryophytes, lycophytes and monilophytes
  2. the evolution and development of kranz anatomy in C4 plants,[20] especially rice.[21]

Langdale's research has been funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).[22] and has been published in leading peer reviewed scientific journals including Nature,[23] Science,[24] Current Opinion in Plant Biology,[21] Development,[25] Gene,[26] Trends in Genetics,[27]The Plant Cell,[28][29][30] the Annual Review of Plant Biology[31], Planta[32], Plant Physiology[33], the Journal of Cell Science,f[34] The EMBO Journal [35], The Plant Journal, PLOS ONE[36] Genes & Development[37] and the New Phytologist.[38][39][40]

Langdale is the co-author of the book How to Succeed as a Scientist: From Postdoc to Professor[41] with materials scientist Barbara Gabrys.

Awards and honours

Langdale was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2015. Her nomination reads:

Jane Langdale has produced a body of work that has transformed our understanding of how plants make leaves and how leaves changed during major evolutionary transitions. The breadth of her research program has led to the elucidation of mechanisms operating throughout leaf development – from the earliest stages of organ inception and specification at the shoot apex, through patterning of distinct cell-types, to chloroplast biogenesis. She has done all of this in a comparative framework and has thus advanced our understanding of leaf development not just in model flowering plant species but in species from all major land plant lineages.[2]
