The conVIRgens project seeks to understand fungal pathogens that threaten crops by reconstructing their virulence mechanisms. Using a model organism, it aims to identify and manipulate the genetic factors that contribute to fungal infections, providing insights for developing new plant protection strategies.
Fungal pathogens are enormous threats to plants, causing tremendous losses in worldwide crop production.
Mechanistic understanding of fungal virulence is crucial to developing novel plant protection strategies in sustainable agriculture.
Biotrophic pathogens colonize living plant tissue and reprogram their hosts to stimulate proliferation and development of infection structures.
To promote infection, fungal pathogens secrete sets of virulence proteins termed “effectors” in a spatiotemporal prog…
