The Role of the Cell Wall in Plant Immunity
I am interested in the plant cell wall as the first line of defense against invading pathogens
- Plant-Fungal interactions, Plant Cell Walls, Protein-protein interactions, Advanced Microscopy, Plant biotic/abiotic stress
Research projects
- Visualizing plant cell infection by a pathogenic fungus using fluorescent markers and microscopy
- Identifying new cell wall damage signals
- Analyzing protein-protein interactions within protein complexes involved in cell wall synthesis
