Plant immunity at the molecular scale
Plants are surrounded by many different organisms in the natural environment.
Some organisms like to take advantage of plants, becoming pathogenic.
Plants have their own immune system to recognize pathogens and elicit cellular responses to stop pathogen spread.
We are interested in understanding how plants recognize these pathogens, at the molecular scale.
