TheresearchprojectiscenteredonthemolecularresponsesofArabidopsis
plants to egg deposition by lepidopteran insects. We are particularly
interested to understand how the egg-induced salicylic acid (SA) signaling
pathway affects plant responses to diverse biotic stresses. We use a
combination of insect bioassays, forward and reverse genetic approaches,
and transcriptomic analyses to decipher the biological relevance of egginducedresponses.
