Current Research

My research involves plant defense mechanisms, cell signaling, proteomics, genomics, and plant development regulation. More specifically, these include: (1) network analysis of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades in Arabidopsis response to biotic and abiotic stresses; (2) DNA damage and repair in disease resistance in Arabidopsis and wheat; (3) protein-protein interactions and structural analysis of signaling components in plant stress responses; (4) analysis of specific metabolic pathways in plant defense response.
