I'm a plant molecular biologist interested in plant defense response to environmental stresses including abiotic and biotic challenges. Previous studies indicate that plant-microbe interactions are influenced by several environmental conditions, including temperature and humidity. As average global temperatures increase, our understanding of the connections between elevated temperature and pathogenesis is increasingly important for effective crop management. Within this context, I'm interested in the molecular and cellular "crosstalk" that occurs when plants are simultaneously challenged by pathogen infection and elevated environmental temperature.
