Plant Disease Resistance to Microbial Pathogens Susceptible Resistant עמידות צמחים למחלות בקטריאליות Dr. Guido Sessa דר' גואידו ססה Britannia Bld., Room 526, Tel: 03-6409766 (lab); Email: guidos@post.tau.ac.il; http://www.tau.ac.il/lifesci/plant_sciences/faculty.htm#Sessa Central interest of our research is to understand the molecular mechanisms that allow plants to recognize invading pathogens and activate defense responses that inhibit pathogen growth and minimize disease symptoms. In this investigation we use molecular and biochemical approaches, including novel genomics and proteomics techniques, to dissect plant disease resistance and develop biotechnological tools for crops improvement.
