Microarray analyses of Fusarium graminearum isolates adapted to azoles
Project
Project code: 67623793
Contract period: 01.01.2008
- 31.12.2010
Purpose of research: Basic research
Fusarium graminearum is a pathogenic ascomycete on cereals that causes yield losses and contaminations with mycotoxins. Its control mainly relies on several azole fungicides. In some field populations of the fungus quantitative resistance has been observed that may spread in the future increasing the difficulties to control this fungus. Adaptation of F. graminearum in vitro to tebuconazole resulted in two distinguishable strains exhibiting quantitative resistance. In this project, microarrys are used to assess genome-wide transcript levels of the two adapted strains in comparison to the wild-type strain which will provide information on the underlying mechanisms leading to resistance.
