Research summary

This researcher studies how plant roots grow, develop, and respond to microbes, with a strong focus on tomato and other crop species. Work spans plant-pathogen interactions (especially bacterial wilt disease caused by Ralstonia), root immune responses, root development and imaging, and newer projects on plant behavior in simulated microgravity for space biology applications. Methods combine molecular plant biology, computational/imaging tools (like X-ray CT scanning and computational modeling), and phenotyping platforms to study root and plant traits.
