Research Interest
Research in the Plant Biochemistry Lab focuses on the role of protein degradation mediated by the ubiquitin system in the regulation of developmental processes, as well as in the response of plants to pathogens. For this work, we use the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, but also crops such as barley and Brassica rapa (turnip), in combination with biochemical, molecular, genetic and genomics approaches. More specifically, we aim at understanding how the nature of the N-terminal residue of proteins affects their stability and participates to the regulation of plant-pathogen interactions. Another aspect of the work aims at gaining further insights into the role of protein degradation in the regulation of transcription and developmental processes in plants.
