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 <i class="ContentPasted2">Pseudomonas syringae</i> 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.<o:p class="ContentPasted2"> </o:p></p>
