Proposal number IOS-0822393This project fuses genetic, evolutionary, and functional approaches to understand the co-evolution of plants and pathogens at the molecular level. Protein-protein interactions will be analyzed in yeast and in plants to build an interaction network of receptor (NBS-LRR) proteins, plant signaling components, and virulence effector proteins from bacterial and oomycete pathogens. The functional significance of these interactions to disease will be studied by a variety of cell biology and disease assays. The project will reveal whether targets of effectors represent a limited number of points of weakness in the plant that are exploited by multiple effectors and pathogens and whether protein complexes that determine the infection phenotype co-evolve. Libraries of genes encoding NBS-LRR proteins and their domains as well as signaling proteins that are candidate plant targets of effectors studied will be distributed through the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center.The global approach will generate large amounts of data that will impact many labs focused on understanding the molecular basis of disease resistance in plants as well as contribute to the functional characterization of numerous genes in Arabidopsis. Data from the project will be broadly disseminated through the project web site (http://niblrrs.ucdavis.edu ) and through The Arabidopsis Information Resource. Deciphering the molecular determinants of resistance has practical importance as well as fundamental interest. A greater understanding of the mechanisms of perception and responses will provide new possibilities for developing disease resistant plants. Consequently, this project will expand the options available to plant breeders to achieve more durable resistance. Researchers involved in the project will benefit from inter-disciplinary training that includes the molecular genetics and cell biology of the defense response components and protein-protein interactions involved in pathogen-host interactions. Outreach efforts will include dissemination of genomics approaches to high schools through curriculum development, workshops and internships.

提案编号IOS-0822393该项目融合了遗传、进化和功能方法，以在分子水平上了解植物和病原体的共同进化。 蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用将在酵母和植物中进行分析，以建立一个受体（NBS-LRR）蛋白，植物信号成分和细菌和卵菌病原体毒力效应蛋白的相互作用网络。这些相互作用对疾病的功能意义将通过各种细胞生物学和疾病测定来研究。 该项目将揭示效应物的目标是否代表植物中被多种效应物和病原体利用的有限数量的弱点，以及决定感染表型的蛋白质复合物是否共同进化。 编码NBS-LRR蛋白及其结构域的基因库以及作为效应子候选植物靶标的信号蛋白将通过拟南芥生物资源中心发布。全球方法将产生大量数据，这些数据将影响许多致力于了解植物抗病性分子基础的实验室，并有助于拟南芥中众多基因的功能表征。 项目数据将通过项目网站（http：//www.example.com）和拟南芥信息资源广泛传播。niblrrs.ucdavis.edu 破解抗性的分子决定因素具有重要的现实意义和根本利益。 更好地理解感知和反应机制将为开发抗病植物提供新的可能性。因此，该项目将扩大植物育种者获得更持久抗性的选择。参与该项目的研究人员将受益于跨学科培训，包括防御反应组分的分子遗传学和细胞生物学以及病原体-宿主相互作用中涉及的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用。 外联工作将包括通过课程编制、讲习班和实习向高中传播基因组学方法。
