Abstract
Although considerable progress has been made towards understanding mechanisms underlying gene-for-gene interactions, key events surrounding pathogen perception and the establishment of basic pathogenicity are comparatively poorly understood. In this project we will characterise plant genes that display rapid transcriptional up-regulation after microbial challenge, irrespective of whether the eventual outcome is resistance or disease. These studies will facilitate an understanding of signalling hierarchies activated during the plants' perception of an invading microbe, and may uncover genes which potentiate the capacity to carry out responses based upon classical gene-for-gene interactions.
