研究领域

Our research aims to understand the response of plant cells to localised pathogen assault. Changes in cell architecture support the plant immune system and an understanding of this response could potentially be exploited to protect key crops. We are investigating the mechanisms co-ordinating this spatially focused phenomenon using advanced light microscopy combined with a broad range of molecular, genetic and biochemical techniques. We are particularly interested in how the plant-pathogen interface emerges from the co-ordination of several processes: Microbe perception Cytoskeletal re-arrangement Long-range cargo transport Exocytosis (cargo delivery) Endocytosis (cargo recovery) We are developing bioimage informatics and modelling approaches to better understand the relationships between these different players in both model plants and key cereals.
