Rust diseases threaten global food security. This cross-institutional project aims to discover how proteins secreted by rust fungi promote disease following their translocation into plant cells. It will use the interaction between flax and the flax rust fungus as a powerful model system to test the hypothesis that manipulation of host RNA metabolism is a fundamental mechanism underpinning rust pathogenesis. This research is intended to dramatically improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms used by rust fungi to establish infection. The knowledge gained is expected to facilitate the development of new strategies for rust disease management in food crops by identifying pathogenic processes that can be targeted for intervention.

锈病威胁全球粮食安全。这个跨机构的项目旨在发现锈菌分泌的蛋白质如何在易位到植物细胞后促进疾病。它将使用亚麻和亚麻锈菌之间的相互作用作为一个强大的模型系统来测试的假设，即操纵宿主RNA代谢是一个基本的机制，支撑锈病发病机制。这项研究旨在大大提高我们对锈菌建立感染的分子机制的理解。所获得的知识预计将有助于制定新的战略，通过确定致病过程，可以有针对性地进行干预，在粮食作物锈病管理。
