This project investigates how plants distinguish between their own cells and foreign entities, focusing on the immune system's trade-offs between growth and defense. By studying the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, it aims to uncover genetic interactions that influence plant health and resilience against diseases.
A fundamental question in biology is how multicellular organisms distinguish self and non-self.
The requirement to specifically recognize only foreign cells and molecules constrains the diversification of the immune system, resulting in conflicts between effective detection of enemies, adaptive changes in the cellular machinery and mating with divergent genotypes from the same species.
In plants, there is generally a trade-off between immunity and growth, and immune system activation is often as…
