MARTIN LAB RESEARCH INTERESTS:
The Martin laboratory studies the molecular basis of bacterial pathogenesis, plant disease susceptibility, and plant immunity. Most of our research focuses on bacterial speck disease which is caused by the infection of tomato leaves with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. This is an economically important disease that can decrease both the yield and quality of tomato fruits. It also serves as an excellent model system for understanding plant-pathogen biology because much is known about the molecular biology of this pathosystem and many genomics resources are available for both tomato and P. s. pv. tomato.
