Abstract
Biotrophic pathogens have been shown to induce specific genes in plants in compatible interactions. However, it is not known whether the same genes are induced by a range of different biotrophs or whether specific genes are induced by each pathogen. This project aims to isolate fungally induced genes from a compatible wheat/yellow rust interaction using differential display and cDNA-AFLPs. These will be analysed to determine whether they are induced in interactions with two other biotrophic fungi, brown rust and powdery mildew and also in a range of other compatible host cultivars. The objective is to identify gene(s) which are induced in all three interactions, and determine how the expression of these is regulated.
