Jonathan D. G. Jones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor Jonathan Dallas George Jones FRS is a senior scientist at the Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich using molecular and genetic approaches to study disease resistance in plants. He, along with collaborator, Jeffrey Dangl, proposed the “Guard Hypothesis” [1] Plant pathogens and integrated defense responses to infection which provides a testable explanation of how a plant cell overcomes the large number of arms used by pathogens to evoke disease while having only a limited set of plant proteins to defend itself.
He received his Ph.D from Cambridge University in 1980, under the direction of G Dover and R B Flavell, and conducted postdoctoral work at Harvard. Head of Sainsbury Laboratory 1994-7, 2003- present, and Professor at University of East Anglia 1997- . He has been editor of Plant cell and Genome biology.
