Molecular Reprogramming and Evolution | CRAG | Centre for research in agricultural Genomics The main scope of our research is in understanding how plants interrelate with their surrounding environment. We are especially interested on the molecular mechanisms that allow plants to perceive and cope with the presence of pathogen threats. Our main line of research focuses on the cellular events triggered by the intracellular presence of pathogen-derived RNA silencing suppressors and its consequences both for plant development and defence reprogramming. Another line of research in the lab focuses on studying the evolution of hormone-mediated plant-microbe communication. https://shorturl.at/CUwM4
