The goal of my research program is to understand the genes and mechanisms that underlie plant associations with microbial communities (“microbiomes”). Plants and animals depend on their associated microbes for pathogen protection, metabolism, and normal growth and physiology. Microbes in the plant root-associated (“rhizosphere”) microbiome can modulate plant growth and defenses. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern plant interactions with beneficial rhizosphere strains is essential to harness the potential of naturally plant-associated bacteria for agricultural improvement.

我的研究计划的目标是了解植物与微生物群落（“微生物组”）联系的基因和机制。植物和动物依靠它们的相关微生物来保护病原体、进行新陈代谢、正常生长和生理机能。植物根相关（根际）微生物组中的微生物可以调节植物的生长和防御。了解控制植物与有益根际菌株相互作用的分子机制对于利用天然植物相关细菌的潜力进行农业改良至关重要。
