Systemic acquired resistance in plants – an -omics approach to pathogen defense signalling
Description:
This project aims to identify systemic acquired resistance (SAR) signalling components in Arabidopsis thaliana and a mutant, eds1, which is incapable of generating or transmitting SAR signals. The EDS1-dependent peptide, lipid, and polar small molecule content of extracts of induced plants will be identified by various mass spectrometry-based techniques. The defence-inducing potential of thus identified candidate SAR signalling components will be examined in different (crop) plant species. Finally, we will study how new SAR signals affect other regulatory processes, e.g. those affecting drought stress tolerance.
