About
Sofie Tilleman has made significant contributions to plant molecular biology, particularly in the study of jasmonate signalling and the development of functional genomics tools. Her most cited work, "Exploration of jasmonate signalling via automated and standardized transient expression assays in tobacco cells" (2005, 148 citations), introduced a high-throughput, automated approach to transient expression assays that enabled rapid functional analysis of genes involved in hormone signalling pathways. This method addressed a critical bottleneck in the post-genomic era—the lack of functional annotation for many genes—by providing a standardized platform for dissecting short functional segments within complex signalling networks. Tilleman’s work has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of plant hormone regulation, particularly jasmonates, which play key roles in plant defense and development. Her innovative assay system has been widely adopted, reflecting its lasting impact on the field. Through her research, Tilleman has helped bridge the gap between genomic sequence data and functional biology, empowering researchers to explore gene function with greater efficiency and precision.
