The goal of our research program is to understand the innate immunity of plants against a broad spectrum of pathogens. Better understanding of plants' ability to fight against pathogen infections will enable us to design sustainable and environmentally friendly ways to control crop failure caused by plant diseases. During the past few years, our group has made pioneering discoveries in determining the essential roles of nucleocytoplasmic trafficking, protein modification, and RNA processing in plant immunity. We have discovered a number of novel regulators critical for plant resistance against pathogens. Future efforts will be made to elucidate how these components function together to mount a defense response.

我们研究计划的目标是了解植物对广谱病原体的先天免疫。更好地了解植物抵抗病原体感染的能力将使我们能够设计可持续和环境友好的方法来控制植物疾病造成的作物歉收。在过去的几年中，我们的团队在确定核质运输，蛋白质修饰和RNA加工在植物免疫中的重要作用方面取得了开创性的发现。我们已经发现了许多对植物抵抗病原体至关重要的新型调节剂。未来的努力将阐明这些组件如何共同发挥作用，以建立一个防御反应。
