My
laboratory is dedicated to understanding the mechanisms that
plants use to defend themselves from microbial pathogens. For
many years, and like many laboratories, we have focused our
attention on how plants regulate the biosynthesis of antimicrobial
phytoalexins. Our work has utilized a wide range of experimental
strategies including genetic engineering, structure-function
comparisons of genes and proteins, and most recently, very simple
physiological experiments to uncover putative signal molecules. |
