Abstract

Our overall goal is to understand the molecular and cellular basis of the differentiation events involved in haustorial development and function in the biotrophic pathogen Erysiphe pisi. Specifically, this programme will capitalise upon advances made on previous grants by investigating detailed aspects of the expression, and functional properties of pUB8, the first haustorial-specific sequence to be cloned, and its polypeptide product. We will also expression-clone additional sequences which are either specifically expressed in haustoria or which represent plant plasma membrane proteins excluded from the extrahaustorial membrane. This information will contribute to longer term goals of defining novel molecular targets for intervention and disease control.
