Abstract
We have recently obtained evidence for a novel two-component process in which a fungal pathogen subverts the preformed antimicrobial compounds of its host and utilises them to interfere with induced defence responses. This small molecule-mediated suppression phenomenon also compromises resistance to bacterial pathogens, indicating that fundamental disease resistance processes are affected. The objectives of this proposal are to use a combination of biochemical and genetic approaches to investigate this suppression mechanism.
