DEFENCE OF THE DOCTORAL DISSERTATION BY VALENTINA LEVAK

Defence of the Doctoral Dissertation by Valentina Levak

IPS invites you to the Defence of the Doctoral Dissertation by Valentina Levak titled: Benefits and limitations of genetically encoded biosensors use in plants: use case of wounding response in potato. The defence will take place on Thursday, 9 July 2026, at 12:00 p.m. at the BTS-NIB Lecture Hall (Večna pot 121, Ljubljana).

Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Kristina Gruden.

Co-Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Tjaša Lukan

Short summary:

Genetically encoded biosensors are powerful tools for studying dynamics of plant immune response. Our results revealed a spatial organization of wound-induced hormone signalling. Besides, we evaluated strategies to enable the simultaneous use of multiple fluorescent biosensors in future applications.
