GENERAL AREAS OF INTEREST:
My research program is focused on plant
defenses against herbivory, with an emphasis on mechanisms of
resistance against vascular feeders such as aphids and root-knot
nematodes. Vascular feeders can cause massive physiological
changes in their host plant such as galling, and many of these
herbivores are also important vectors of plant pathogens. Their
interactions with plants are therefore important from both an
ecological and a practical agricultural perspective. Despite
this, relatively little is known about the physiological or
molecular basis of plant responses to vascular herbivory. I
am using tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) as a model
system to investigate this question, and to explore the relationship
of plant defensive pathways induced by aphids and nematodes
to plant defenses against other biotic stresses. My laboratory
studies both broad-spectrum, induced defenses against herbivores
and isolate-specific, resistance-gene-mediated innate resistance,
and utilizes molecular and genomic approaches to identify potential
sources of resistance against insects.
SPECIFIC
AREAS OF RESEARCH:
-
The molecular and physiological
mode of action of Mi-1.2, a resistance gene (R gene)
in tomato that confers resistance against root-knot nematodes,
aphids, whiteflies and psyllids.
-
The impact of the jasmonate-,
ethylene-, and salicylate-dependent signaling pathways on
plant-aphid interactions in tomato and other plant species.
-
Variation among aphid populations
in their responses to host plant resistance and their ability
to induce symptom development in their host plants.
