Research interests
Unlike animals, plants cannot move away from adverse conditions. Plants face increased threats from fungal and bacterial pathogens, some of which are gaining advantage as the climate becomes more favourable to them. To protect crops from major losses we need to understand how plants defend themselves and how we can exploit this.
Our laboratory addresses the important question of how plants respond to pathogen attack. This research will inform us as to where molecular biology and breeding approaches could be directed to optimise the existing cellular machinery to boost crop plant resistance to pathogens.
