Research interests
We are using a combination of forward- and reverse-genetics, as well as biochemical and proteomic approaches to answer the main questions underlying our research programme:
- How are pamp perceived?
- What are the signalling events downstream of pamp perception?
- What is the contribution of pamp perception to plant immunity?
