Molecular basis of plant susceptibility mediated by microbe-derived vesicles (B15*)

胞外囊泡是细菌毒力的重要结构。然而，它们在植物被致病植物病原体感染中的作用尚不清楚。本项目将评估微生物来源的EV诱导植物易感性的过程，并确定囊泡货物的宿主靶基因对植物免疫结果的作用。该项目完成后，将对导致植物易感性的机制产生新的见解。

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important structures in bacterial virulence. Yet, their role in the infection of plants by disease-causing phytopathogens is not understood. This project will evaluate the process by which microbe-derived EVs induce plant susceptibility and identify the role of host target genes of vesicle cargoes for the outcome of plant immunity. At its completion, this project will lead to new insights into the mechanisms leading to plant susceptibility.
