Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Interactions of Enteric Pathogens with Postharvest Leafy Vegetables

Objective

Identify the molecular mechanisms that underlie the interaction of enteric pathogens with fresh-cut leafy vegetables.

More information

Approach:
Transcriptomics in Salmonella and pathogenic E. coli; bacterial population dynamics on fresh-cut lettuce and spinach; and use of lettuce lines and Arabidopsis mutants that are defective in specific basal defense signaling pathways.
