The role of RNA silencing in Arabidopsis defense against the fungal pathogen Verticillium (11126)

Project nummer: 11126

Omschrijving van het onderzoek

The role of RNA silencing in Arabidopsis defense against the fungal pathogen Verticillium.
Plant pathogens take their share of food and feed production, and vascular wilts are among the most devastating diseases worldwide. Verticillium wilt diseases are difficult to control due to the long viability of the resting structures, the broad host range of the pathogens, and the inability of fungicides to eliminate the pathogens once they have entered the xylem tissues of the plant. In this project, the model plant Arabidopsis (Brassicaceae) will be used to unravel the role of RNA silencing in Verticillium defense, and to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) that are required for basal defense against Verticillium spp. Ultimately, this knowledge will be used to develop novel crop protection strategies.
