Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Fiona L. Goggin's research investigates plant interactions with insects, particularly focusing on the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to aphid feeding. Her work utilizes model organisms such as *Arabidopsis thaliana* to examine gene expression, protein function, and metabolic pathways involved in plant defense and susceptibility. Several publications explore the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid metabolism, specifically fatty acid desaturases, in mediating these interactions with aphids like *Myzus persicae*.

Goggin also examines the impact of environmental factors and other organisms on plant health. Her research includes investigations into cadmium interference with iron sensing and its relation to ROS signaling, as well as the effects of beneficial microbes, such as *Bacillus subtilis*, on plant interactions with nematodes. Her scholarship has been recognized with a designation as a highly cited researcher, indicated by an h-index of 26 and over 3,400 citations across 61 publications.

Her collaborations at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include work with Payal Sanadhya, Kallahan Minor, Joanna Kud, and Jiamei Li, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Goggin maintains an active lab website to disseminate her research findings.
