Project Information
The emphasis of the Faulkner laboratory is on how plant immune responses are mediated by intercellular communication. In multicellular animals, cell-to-cell communication is an essential biological activity that is required for the coordination of development and environmental reactions. The Faulkner lab conducts research on the role that plant cell-to-cell communication plays in the development and maintenance of plant immune responses.
Their goal is to understand the multicellular character of plant immunity by identifying the molecules and signals that move in a simple way during plant immune responses.
Role Information
The postdoctoral researcher will carry out cutting-edge research to determine and describe the signals and immune responses that, in response to a pathogen’s localised perception, move from cell to cell via the symplast and how they vary throughout organs at different developmental stages. To gather information and develop new theories on how cell-to-cell communication drives plant immune responses, they will combine methods from the fields of cell biology, gene expression analysis, proteomics, and genetics.
