| Citation | Saskia Hogenhout showed Phytoplasma parasites of plants induce developmental alterations by delivering virulence proteins, with even a single protein eliciting significant changes. She revealed how these changes attract insects that disseminate the parasite. The parasites cannot be cultured or transformed but her research made tractable the previously non-tractable. She also generated invaluable genomic resources and innovative methodologies that have greatly facilitated the study of insect vectors of parasites. She thus has made seminal discoveries that have reshaped fundamental knowledge and opened the door to translational opportunities. Her reputation spans the fields of plant pathology, molecular genetics, bacteriology and entomology. |
