Projects

Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Fungal Defense in Arabidopsis

Lead Institution
Rice University
Principal Investigator
Janet Braam
Project type
Limited Scope
We seek a rapid access grant to support an upcoming NSF proposal (November, 2014). EMSL technical capabilities are essential to the feasibility and success of the proposed work. Our goal is to…

Functional Components of Plant Resistance to Fungi

Lead Institution
Rice University
Principal Investigator
Janet Braam
Project type
Exploratory Research
Recent research has led to new insights into the importance of spatial aspects of jasmonate-mediated plant defense and fungal resistance, including organ-specific resistance as a gate-keeper for…

Plant Biotic Defense Dynamics

Lead Institution
Rice University
Principal Investigator
Janet Braam
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Plant survival strategies include balancing resource allocation to growth versus defense against biotic stress. Despite the importance of this balance for plant productivity, measured as biomass and…

Intercellular Vesicular Communication in Plants

Lead Institution
Rice University
Principal Investigator
Janet Braam
Project type
Exploratory Research
Exosomes are powerful vehicles for local, distal and even transpecies cell-to-cell communication in diverse eukaryotes, but whether plant extracellular vesicles can act similarly to exosomes…
