About the Research Lab: Dr. Baoye He’s Lab at Texas A&M

The lab focuses on molecular mechanisms of plant-pathogen communication, with special emphasis on:

• Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) and their role in inter-kingdom communication
• Cross-kingdom RNA transfer between plants and microbes
• Advanced tools like molecular biology, live-cell imaging, genetics, and bioinformatics to investigate signaling pathways and plant defense mechanisms

The long-term vision is to transform how we understand and manage plant diseases through molecular and genetic insights.
