Plants possess a number of disease resistance pathways to combat microbial infections. Each year an estimated 40% of world food production is lost due to insects, weeds and disease despite resistant crop varieties and pesticide application. In view of these losses, the goal of my research team is to understand Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) and Age-related Resistance (ARR). Both SAR and ARR involve a priming stage in which an initial biological, chemical or developmental stimulus allows a plant to respond rapidly and effectively to subsequent pathogen infections. Understanding these priming mechanisms will provide insights for genetic and breeding strategies to allow crops to respond rapidly and effectively to disease.

植物具有许多抗病途径来对抗微生物感染。每年，尽管作物品种和杀虫剂具有抗药性，但由于昆虫、杂草和疾病，估计仍有40%的世界粮食产量损失。鉴于这些损失，我的研究团队的目标是了解系统获得性抗性（SAR）和与植物相关的抗性（ARR）。SAR和ARR都涉及引发阶段，其中初始生物、化学或发育刺激允许植物对随后的病原体感染迅速有效地作出反应。了解这些引发机制将为遗传和育种策略提供见解，使作物能够快速有效地应对疾病。
