Unravelling Novel Mechanisms Of Defense Gene Activation: A Gateway To Elevate Disease Resistance In Plants
Designing Future-Proof Disease Resistant Plantsbreeding For Disease Resistance Is The Key To Growing Crops That Can Resist Pathogens, And It Is Vital To Understand How Plant Immune Systems Work To Speed Up The Breeding Programme For Immune Precision. Previous Research Using Systems Biology Approaches Revealed Hidden Components. The Eu-Funded R-Elevation Project Will Now Explore How The Recognition Of Pathogens By Plant Immune Receptors Is Converted Into Changes In Defence Gene Expression Resulting In Effective Immunity. The Overall Goal Is To Develop Robust Tools To Control Plant Pathogens. The Project Findings Will Facilitate The Development Of Management Strategies, Including The Use Of Selectable Traits For Plant Breeding.
