| Search for protein candidates involved in vector-pathogen interactions |
Our lab studies vector-born plant pathogens. We are mainly interested in the molecular interactions between the pathogens and their insect vector and the mechanisms involved in the transmission, mainly insect proteins involved in the transmission. Currently we study Whitefly-Virus interactions and Psyllid-liberibacter (bacteria) interactions.

| Function analyzing nematode's effectors mediating plant parasitism by plant parasitic nematodes |
This research is aimed in understanding the function of the Root Knot Nematode Meloidogyne javanica effectors which are part of the sophisticated tool box which is required for feeding site induction, formation and maintenance. RNAseq results in our hands indicate on a long list of RKN effectors indicated as having an unkown functions. In this study we will follow after the expression, localization, bindings properties and manipulation of defence pathway for each candidate effector.

| Disrupting insect pest reproductive systems |
Based on the understanding of operating selection forces, the ecology and physiology of the pest, we aim at hampering the insect pest reproductive success. The precipice methods will be tailored to suit the insect species and its immediate environment and is mode of sexual communication.

| Interfering with the mating system of insects to reduce pest populations |
We study various ways to disrupt possible encounters of males and females, to avoid offspring production. We based our study on an evolutionary approach, behavioral assays, chemical ecology and genetic manipulations

| Postdoctoral opportunity on movement and disease/pest dynamics |
This project aim at modeling pathogen and pest spatial spread in various spatial scales, from the plot level to the landscape scale. Some background on the lab and related projects can be found in our group website http://SpatialEpidemiologyLab.weebly.com

| Use of fungal endophytes for increasing cucurbit plant performance by conferring abiotic and biotic stress tolerance |
The research will focus on endophtyic microorganisms isolated from stress-tolerant local, wild cucurbits. Generate abiotic and biotic tolerant melon crop plants, colonized by the isolated endophytes to increase cope with extreme environmental conditions and manage soilborne fungal pathogens affecting the crop. Determine mechanism of host resistance and gene expression.

| Molecular characterization of severe and mild Grapevine leaf-roll associated viruses |
The aim of the research project is to screen for mild isolates of Grapevine leaf-roll associated virus and to use them for cross protection. We mainly focused of Closteroviridae members. The research project involves various molecular biology aspects including RT-PCR, cloning, NGS, assembling infectious clones of cDNA viruses, plant inoculation and virus diagnosis with RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, hybridizations and ELISA.

| Exploring constitutive induced systemic resistance in agriculture. Please see https://mayapiff.wixsite.com/barlab |
The Bar lab is a dynamic young group conducting basic and applied research of the plant immune system: immunity priming, biocontrol, and biosensing of plant disease. In this project, the prospective postdoc will investigate different methods to generate plants with constitutively activated immunity without harming agricultural productivity. We have already obtained promising results and are looking to add an excellent researcher to our group. Required skills: molecular biology techniques, plant tissue culture, fungal biology/microbiology.

| Improving the efficacy of biocontrol agents by plant priming Please see https://mayapiff.wixsite.com/barlab |
Biocontrol is a highly sought after alternative to traditional pesticides. In this project, the prospective postdoc will manipulate the plant genome using CAS9 editing to improve the plants' response to biocontrol, examining outcomes of different immunity priming techniques.

| Manipulating cellular trafficking to improve plant immunity Please see https://mayapiff.wixsite.com/barlab |
Trafficking is fundamental to the regulation of plant immunity, being involved in many different steps of plant immune mechanisms, such as regulation of PRR activity through recycling and endosomal movement of defense proteins. In this project, the prospective postdoc will use CAS9 genome editing to manipulate trafficking in tomato, to obtain increased defense signaling resulting in pathogen resistance.
