Montes-Serey's research interests span plant immunity, proteostatic networks, and the interplay between hormones and stress responses. He investigates how post-translational modifications (e.g., ubiquitination, SUMOylation) regulate protein stability and signaling pathways in plants. His work also addresses plasmodesmata function in pathogen defense and root development, leveraging cutting-edge techniques like proximity labeling and ribosome profiling.
His recent studies highlight the role of brassinosteroids in autophagy regulation and the impact of GAUT10 on root growth. He collaborates on multi-omic projects analyzing disease resistance in maize and soybean, uncovering novel genetic and biochemical mechanisms. Montes-Serey actively contributes to plant proteomics methodologies, advancing our understanding of complex biological systems.
