Group Highlights
Our group investigates the structure and function of nano-channels connecting plant cells (plasmodesmata), and how these are hijacked by plant viruses to spread through the host.
We use molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology, live cell and super-resolution imaging, electron microscopy, reverse and forward genetics, and transient and stable plant transformation to address these questions.
