The project investigates the effectors produced by the yellow rust pathogen in wheat, aiming to identify new strategies for disease resistance. By using advanced sequencing technologies, it seeks to characterize these proteins and their role in plant-pathogen interactions.
Effectors are used by pathogens as weapons against their hosts.
Puccunia striiformis f. sp. tritici (PST) the causal agent of yellow rust, is able to produce and secrete these proteins inside its host, wheat.
This disease is responsible of epidemics around the world, including Europe.
Even more, two new and aggressive strains of this pathogen may constitute the most expansive and accelerated spread ever of a wheat disease.
The discovery and characterization of new effectors of yellow rust will o…
