Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Joanna Kud's research focuses on plant immunity and host-pathogen interactions, particularly involving nematodes and their impact on crops like potatoes. Her work investigates the molecular mechanisms by which plants perceive pathogens and initiate defense responses. Recent publications highlight her study of specific receptors, such as NILR1, that detect nematode-derived molecules, triggering immune signaling pathways. Kud also examines how pathogens manipulate plant cellular machinery, for instance, targeting RNA metabolism for successful parasitism. Her research explores effector proteins secreted by nematodes that interfere with plant defenses and hormone responses. Additionally, she has investigated the role of root exudates in influencing nematode behavior and the discovery of novel viruses associated with plant-parasitic nematodes. Kud's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 10 across 20 publications with 492 citations.
