Stratmann, Johannes

Professor

We study molecular mechanisms of stress signal transduction in plants. Our focus is on microbe/danger-associated molecular patterns, membrane-bound receptors, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, reactive-oxygen species (ROS), stress hormone signaling, and protein complexes in plant responses to herbivory and pathogens. Our work has potential to provide clues for generating plants with increased stress resistance.
