Many crop diseases are economically significant threats to agricultural productivity in Australia, with rust fungi in particular being a major problem for cereal grain production. Current methods of rust disease control are based on breeding for resistance but continued adaption by rust fungi to overcome plant defences means there is an urgent need for new methods of crop protection. This project will investigate molecular processes underlying fungal infection of plants, focusing on mechanisms that enable fungi to take over the metabolism of infected cells. The research will provide basic knowledge for development of novel and durable disease resistance strategies.

许多作物病害在经济上对澳大利亚的农业生产力构成重大威胁，尤其是锈菌是谷物生产的主要问题。目前的锈病防治方法是以抗病育种为基础的，但锈菌不断适应以克服植物防御意味着迫切需要新的作物保护方法。这个项目将研究真菌感染植物的分子过程，重点是使真菌能够接管受感染细胞的新陈代谢的机制。这项研究将为开发新的和持久的抗病策略提供基础知识。
