Fu, Zhengqing

Professor

My lab focuses on the plant hormone salicylic acid signaling in plant pathogen interactions. Plant hormone salicylic acid is both required and sufficient for plant defense against biotrophic pathogens. A deeper and more comprehensive understanding of this topic will help us innovate strategies to control plant disease and improve our life quality. One of the goals in our lab is to increase our understanding of salicylic acid signaling during plant defense against pathogen infection.
