This project investigates how plants respond to pathogens through the immune hormone salicylic acid. It aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate plant immune responses, which can improve crop protection strategies.
Plants are continuously exposed to a wide variety of pathogenic attackers that cause major crop losses to agriculture worldwide.
Unlike vertebrates that use specialized immune cells to detect non-self, each individual plant cell is thought to be capable of launching an effective immune response.
Plant immune responses are largely orchestrated by the immune hormone, salicylic acid (SA), which accumulates upon infection and establishes both local and broad-spectrum systemic immunity. SA induces th…
