Marijke Hartog

Marijke Hartog is a Researcher at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Wageningen University. Her work focuses on molecular mechanisms of plant-microbe symbioses, particularly nitrogen-fixing interactions in non-legume species like Parasponia andersonii.

• Key Research Areas:
  • Molecular biology of lysin motif receptors
  • CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in tropical trees
  • Comparative genomics of rhizobium symbiosis
  • Evolution of nitrogen fixation pathways

Recent Trends in her publications (2011-2020) include: dissecting GRAS-type transcription factors in strigolactone biosynthesis, genome editing of symbiotic genes, and comparative studies on root nodule evolution. Collaborative datasets demonstrate her expertise in plant genomics and symbiotic trait mapping.

Contributions to datasets include genome assemblies for Parasponia andersonii and Trema orientale, reflecting her role in advancing nitrogen-fixing plant research.
