Abstract
UK crop disease control demands a never-ending search for new sources of resistance and novel fungicides. We aim to understand the principles underlying systemic acquired resistance (SAR) to disease in grasses in order to harness this generic immunity for future disease control strategies. An SAR bioassay will be developed together with molecular probes and biochemical assays which will allow us to understand in an integrated way the SAR phenomenon at the whole plant level in cereals. We aim to identify candidate molecules functioning as systemic signals that may form the basis of future approaches for manipulating SAR in crops.
