How the Tatsuya Nobori Group is decoding plant immunity, cell by cell
What happens when plants are attacked by microbes, and how do they defend themselves without specialised or mobile immune cells?
Watch the video to learn more about the Tatsuya Nobori group and their research:
The highly international and interdisciplinary Nobori group investigates how plants coordinate immune responses at the level of individual cells, combining single-cell and spatial omics, genetics, cell biology and computational approaches to uncover the diverse cellular states that emerge during infection. To advance their investigations, the team develops new technologies, such as PHYTOMap, allowing them to visualise gene expression and plant–microbe interactions in unprecedented spatial detail.
Tatsuya shares, "We are very excited to bridge the deep molecular basis and precise cellular basis of plant immunity, which will give us much better mechanistic and predictive understanding of the plant immune system, and broader plant microbe interactions."
