Roger W. Innes studies how plants defend themselves against disease-causing microbes such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and nematodes. A major focus is on extracellular vesicles—tiny membrane-bound packets that cells release—and their role in communication and immunity during plant-microbe interactions. The work often uses model plants like Arabidopsis and crops such as soybean and sorghum.
