In our laboratory, we delve into the intricate networks of hormone intercommunication within root cap cells, focusing intently on the below-ground components of plants.  For the aerial parts of plants, our research focuses on understanding both biotic and abiotic stresses, with a particular emphasis on host-pathogen interactions. Across both domains, our translational research endeavors bridge the gap between laboratory investigations and real-world applications. Our primary objective is to drive advancements in plant developmental biology and bolster crop resilience against a spectrum of environmental challenges.
