[Schomer, Rebecca - (rschomer)]

Hi All,

Dr. Gitta Coaker is visiting from University of California, Davis, on September 11 and 12. If you are available, please sign up to meet with Gitta during the day on September 12th. Or if you aren't available for a meeting, to attend dinner either the 11th or the 12. Here<https://emailarizona-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/rschomer_arizona_edu/EaE42r8kzltOpe2wt-Zri1ABZQJEki6rcfM7LOTdzdxeLA?e=uM2OLb> is the link to sign-up!

Her talk abstract is attached below my signature.

I hope to see you all at Gitta's Seminar Sept 12 at 4PM in Marley 230 and the proceeding reception at 330PM in the Marley Atrium.

Cheers,

Becca


Title: Investigating plant responses to bacterial infection with spatial and cellular resolution

Plants can be infected by all pathogen classes. Research in my laboratory is focused on pathogens that colonize above ground plant parts. We use a combination of genetic, biochemical, and microscopy-based approaches to investigate mechanisms controlling plant immune signaling and pathogen virulence. First, I will focus on our work investigating plant responses to pathogen infection at single-cell resolution. Using single-cell RNA sequencing technology we profiled ~12,000 individual leaf cells upon infection with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae coupled with spatial investigation. We identified pathogen responsive clusters programmed for immunity and susceptibility in distinct areas of the leaf uncovering heterogeneity in host response to pathogens within a tissue. Next, I will focus on our work investigating how phloem-limited bacterial pathogens manipulate plant physiology and metabolism to facilitate disease transmission.
