Background and Interests
 
Martha C. Hawes received a Ph.D. in Plant Pathology (Mechanisms of Pathogenesis) from the University of Kentucky.  In additon, she has a Master's Degree in Plant Pathology which she also recieved from the University of Kentucky, and a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Centre College.  Here at the University of Arizona, she teaches Molecular Plant Microbe Interactions (621), Plant Microbiology (550), and Colloquium in Plant Biology (695a).  Her research interests include mechanisms by which eucaryotic cells sort endogenous and environmental signals to 'choose' between cell division and differentiation using the root cap of higher plants as a model.  Long-term research goals include defining the molecular basis by which plants control microbial community structure in the soil environment.  The research is funded by competitive grants from the United Stated Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, and National Science Foundation.  (To view a list of selected publications, please see below)
