Abstract

The project will investigate the function of the potyvirus cytoplasmic/cylindrical inclusion (CI) protein in compatible and incompatible interactions between Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) and Brassica napus. The CI of TuMV has been identified as the avirulence determinant for the brassica resistance genes TuRB01 and TuRB05. A range of experiments including far westerns, pull downs/co-immunoprecipitation and yeast two- hybrids will be carried out to identify plant proteins interacting with the CI in compatible and incompatible interactions. Appropriate techniques will be used to identify the isolated plant proteins. Synteny with Arabidopsis will be used to elucidate gene function.
