Jonathan M. Jacobs

This researcher studies plant-pathogenic bacteria, particularly Xanthomonas species that cause diseases in crops like rice, tea, and cereals, and investigates how plants and bacteria interact during infection. The work combines genomics, molecular biology tools (like CRISPRi), and plant pathology to understand disease mechanisms and host specificity, with some additional work on hydroponic growing systems. Note that several publications in the provided list (on sleep studies, dermatology, and lupus treatment) appear unrelated to this core research area and may reflect a name-matching issue in the data.

Publication output has grown over the past decade, rising from single digits per year in 2017-2018 to a sustained pace of 11-16 papers annually from 2022 onward.
