Research Interests
To flourish plants need to adapt their growth and development in response to changes in their environment. Great progress has been made in determining the mechanisms of signal perception and an essential part of subsequent responses is rapid alteration of cellular membranes and the cell wall. Beyond transport of materials, the internalization and secretion of plasma membrane receptors can regulate signal duration and create local signal gradients. Thus, the trafficking of vesicles within a cell can be viewed as regulating overall cellular output. The mechanisms of how signal pathways and membrane trafficking events interact are largely unknown, but substantial rearrangements occur quickly, likely using pre-formed proteins.
The question my research seeks to address is 'how are the mechanisms of membrane trafficking involved in normal growth and development, adapted for responses to biotic and abiotic stress?' My objective is to identify components recruited to responsive trafficking mechanisms and provide targets to uncouple negative impacts on plant growth during adaptation to stress.
My group uses the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, advanced proteomics, confocal microscopy and biochemistry to identify protein complexes and post-translational modifications at the interface between signal perception and responsive trafficking.
