My research focuses on the molecular basis of jasmonic acid signal transduction, predominately using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
Our research looks examines four fundamental and interrelated aspects of molecular plant pathology; (i) the role of calcium in jasmonic acid signal pahtway, (ii) the role of AtCNGC in jasmonic acid signal pathway and, (iii) the function of WRKY in plant stress response.
