This project focuses on enhancing plant immunity against pathogens that threaten crops. It studies the molecular mechanisms behind plant immune responses, particularly the programmed cell death process, to develop strategies for improved disease resistance.
Plants are rich sources of nutrients and water for diverse microbial communities.
Some of these communities evolved parasitism as a strategy to access plant nutrients, with devastating results for crops.
Plants are protected from infection by a waxy cuticular layer above the walls of epidermal cells.
Would-be pathogens breaching this barrier, or entering via stomata, encounter an active plant immune system that specifically recognizes pathogens.
Breaching leads to the deployment of two synergist…
