Jane Glazebrook


Jane Glazebrook is an American botanist known for her work on understanding plant defenses against pathogens and increasing crop yields. She received her Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1991 and is now a professor of Plant Biology at the University of Minnesota. She was the editor-in-chief of the journal Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions. She is married to Fumiaki Katagiri, who also works at the University of Minnesota as a professor of Plant Biology.
Glazebrook's research focuses on defenses of plants against pathogens. Her lab especially works with the plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the pathogens Pseudomonas syringae and Alternaria brassicicola.
