Actin depolymerization factor (ADF) moonlighting: Nuclear immune regulation by interacting with WRKY transcription factors and shaping the transcriptome. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 123(36), e2530072123.  https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2530072123 (NEW)

Our lab is studying the functions of immune-related proteins to elucidate their role in defense reactions such as PAMP-triggered immunity, effector-triggered immunity and stomatal immunity. Moreover, we are focusing on discovering how plant membrane trafficking systems influence plant-microbe interactions.

本實驗室利用細胞生物學及生物化學等方法，探討植物細菌致病及植物免疫機制。探索未知的植物蛋白來釐清植物免疫網絡，如PAMP triggered immunity (PTI)、Effector triggered immunity (ETI)、與氣孔免疫（Stomatal immunity）。另外，我們也研究植物胞器的運輸機制如何影響植物-病原交互作用。
