Project Details
Description
Plant disease is a severe limiting factor in crop production. Tracking the functional parts of pathogen genomes can inform fungicide application, resistance and susceptibility of specific crop varieties and quickly predict the epidemic potential of new fungal incursions. SARS-Cov2 has shown that sequence-based tracking of variants is possible and useful. The bottleneck in plant pathogens such as wheat stripe rust is to identify the genes which cause disease or resistance. This project addresses this bottleneck with a new high throughput screen to detect pathogen molecules triggering an immune response.
