Plant Immunology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores, at the molecular level, how plants defend themselves against pathogens.
AboutAbout the lab
Plants are fighting, too.
The Plant Immunology Lab studies plant immunity, the mechanisms by which plants protect themselves from pathogens, at the molecular level.
Plants are exposed to pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi, and protect themselves by activating biological defense mechanisms.
To protect plants from disease, the lab has created disease-resistant plants.
In its basic research, the lab uses model plants to investigate causal genes and then applies the results back to crops.
Key terms
- plant immunity
- The biological defense mechanisms that plants activate to protect themselves from pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi
- model plant
- A plant whose genes are easy to analyze and that is widely used in research. In this lab, it is used to analyze causal genes
ResearchResearch themes
Aiming to protect plants from disease, the lab seeks to clarify, at the molecular level, the signal transduction networks that control plant immune responses. Causal genes for pathological phenomena found in crops are analyzed in model plants, and the basic data obtained are then applied back to crops.
