Our research centers on crop diseases caused by bacteria in the genus Xanthomonas, focusing on TAL effector proteins injected by the bacteria to manipulate expression of specific host genes important for disease development. Our lab also studies plant disease resistance mechanisms triggered by TAL effectors in some host genotypes, and, to understand TAL effector origins and evolution, we study TAL effector like-proteins in other biological systems.
