Sohn lab studies microbial pathogenesis and plant innate immunity. In particular, we are interested in better understanding the mechanisms by which intracellular NLR immune receptors recognize pathogen-secreted effector proteins and activate immune responses in plants.
Our research topics include but are not limited to
-
Molecular mechanisms by which NLR proteins recognize pathogen effectors and activate immunity in Arabidopsis and Solanaceae plants
-
Effector functions during bacterial and fungal pathogenesis
-
Identification of NLRs carrying novel effector recognition specificities for molecular crop breeding.
