Programmed cell death in Arabidopsis: Function of KDELpeptidases in development and pathogen defense (2)
Project
Project code: TP A07
Contract period: 01.07.2011
- 30.06.2015
Budget: 510,526 Euro
Purpose of research: Basic research
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a prerequisite for successful development and yield formation of crop plants. Plant PCD is effected by a group of cysteine endopeptidases with a C-terminal KDEL endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) retention signal. We want to elucidate their role in developmental cell death, especially in micro- and macro-gametogenesis, in seed and silique maturation, as well as in defence responses to pathogens, especially upon infection with biotrophic fungi such as Erysiphe cruciferarum, with hemi-biotrophic fungi such as Piriformospora indica, and with necrotrophic fungi such as Alternaria brassicicola.
