Abstract
The project is based on recent data from my laboratory showing that glycosyl tranferases (GTases) involved in conjugation of small molecular weight substrates play casual and quite unexpected roles in plant wound and pathogen responses. Two areas of research will be explored: (1) volatile biosynthesis and emission from plants challenged by wound- and pathogen-related elicitors and the role of GTases in these processes; (2) characterisation of novel GTases, their expression patterns and their roles during biotic and abiotic stress responses. The proposed research will take novel ideas through to the proof-of-concept stage, and thereby catalyse future interactions involving plant biotechnology with UK industry.
