Awesome
Professor Yoshioka has an accent but it's not that hard to understand her. Her little jokes were very funny and she really cares about what she teaches. She will go over the concepts thoroughly. And if you have a question, she will go through it again. You will do well if you attend her lectures. Paper results were discussed in class too. She was a great professor for CSB353.

Yoshioka

Understanding the molecular mechanism of plant defense systems is critical in determining how plants defend themselves against various stresses, including pathogens and applying this knowledge to improve agricultural production and protect environment against possible negative impact from pesticides and fungicides. The long-term goal of my laboratory is to understand how plants transmit the intra- and inter-cellular signals of various environmental stresses including pathogen infection. To achieve this goal, we are using both forward and reverse genetics approaches to identifying novel components (genes/proteins) that are involved in plant immunity.
