Abstract
Molecular analyses of disease resistance genes (R-genes) has begun to reveal how cell signalling can induce a defense response in plants. These genes are involved in the earliest steps of parasite perception; whereas other genes are being revealed by mutational analyses that are involved downstream in the same process. The project will use three Arabidopsis parasites to examine whether different steps in this signalling process overlap to provide host defense against different parasite species: by examining whether wild type R-genes can be involved in recognition of more than one parasite species; and by investigation whether natural variation exists in downstream genes that are known to be required for resistance to different parasites.
