Pierre Buscaill
University of Oxford, Department of Plant Sciences
Dr. Buscaill studied Biological Sciences at the University of Albi (France), he then completed his MSc in Plant Sciences at the University of Toulouse (France). Pierre received his PhD at Laboratory of Plant-Microbe Interactions (LIPM, France). He now works as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Plant Chemetics Lab at the University of Oxford (United Kingdom). Pierre's research interest is to understand the extracellular recognition of bacterial pathogens in plants. His current research focuses on elucidating the release of bacterial immunogenic fragments, and the strategies used by bacterial pathogens to evade extracellular recognition. By better understanding plant immunity and microbial colonisation, his research aims to address fundamental research questions while developing new crop protection strategies.
Daniela J Sueldo
Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Department of Biology
Dr. Sueldo studied Biology at the Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (UNMdP, Argentina), and then pursued her PhD at the Department of Phytopathology at Wageningen University (the Netherlands). During her PhD she focused on the immune response of tomato to the fungal pathogen Cladosporium fulvum. After her PhD, she joined the Department of Plant Sciences at Oxford University (United Kingdom) where she studied the role of extracellular enzymes in the execution of the immune response upon bacterial infection. During her second postdoctoral experience at Warwick University (United Kingdom), Daniela investigated the role of chromatin structure in the activation of cell death as part of the immune response in Arabidopsis thaliana. Daniela recently joined the Department of Biology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology to establish a new group that investigates the molecular mechanisms that control of cell death propagation during the plant immune response.
Collection Overview
Plants are colonized by a multitude of microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. These plant-colonizing microbes can be pathogens with detrimental effects or symbionts with beneficial effects on plant health. Novel crop protection strategies that address global challenges must exploit beneficial microbes while limiting colonization by pathogenic microbes while complying with sustainable agriculture and food security practices. Improving our understanding of the interactions between plants and microbes is essential, particularly the strategies microbes use to colonize plants. Thus, studies on the impacts and routes of plant colonization are a central aspect in the research on plant-microbe interactions. Understanding host colonization at the molecular and cellular level will reveal the mysteries of these interactions. This Methods collection describes the recent developments and findings on molecular and cellular aspects of plant-microbe interactions.
