Profile
The laboratory focuses on molecular analysis of innate immune responses in Piper nigrum L. To develop novel priming-based host protection strategies, we generate high throughput proteome and transcriptome data in Piper nigrum (black pepper), under conditions of disease and natural defense elicitor treatments and functionally analyze this by gene over expression and silencing approaches.
