Abstract
Virtually nothing is known about the regulation of the competing demands of the virus and the plant in compatible interactions. This project will use high- throughput analyses of changes in host gene expression in near synchronous infections to identify classes of genes involved in supporting virus replication, genes associated with the transient redirection of carbon into virus infection and genes associated with defence responses. Generic and specific responses to different viruses will also be distinguished. The project will provide the foundation for a longer term comparison and analysis of biotic and abiotic stress responses, and has the potential for the identification of virus inducible promoters as biotechnological tools.
