Expertise

Specifically, we are interested in the interaction between Arabidopsis and the obligate fungal pathogen Erysiphe cichoracearum, the causal agent of powdery mildew disease.

One project focuses on the role of the fungal elicitor chitin in plant-pathogen interactions.

A second focus in the lab involves the characterization of susceptibility factors in plant-pathogen interactions.
