Research Interests
The research focuses on plant-fungal pathogen interactions and the molecular mechanisms underlying plant disease development. A key emphasis is placed on the stages of fungal pathogenesis, including developmental processes, adaptation to the host environment, and the formation of specialized structures involved in infection and survival.
The goal of the research is to uncover the biological basis of plant–fungal interactions and to contribute to a deeper understanding of key disease determinants in agricultural systems.
