This project aims to generate a new understanding of how rust fungi infect plant cells using single-cell sequencing technologies and data-driven investigations. This project expects to discover conserved rust infection strategies and the first characterisations of mechanisms that transfer virulence proteins from the fungus to the plant. Innovations and new knowledge from this project will be of high-impact and of benefit to the Australian and international community through knowledge discovery about conserved rust infection mechanisms. This project expects to deliver strategies for effective rust disease management that will in the future lessen the impact of rust diseases on agriculture and natural ecosystems in Australia.

该项目旨在利用单细胞测序技术和数据驱动的调查，对锈菌如何感染植物细胞产生新的理解。该项目希望发现保守的锈菌感染策略，以及将毒力蛋白从真菌转移到植物的机制的第一个特征。该项目的创新和新知识将通过对保守的锈菌感染机制的知识发现，对澳大利亚和国际社会产生重大影响和益处。该项目期望提供有效的锈病管理战略，在未来减少锈病对澳大利亚农业和自然生态系统的影响。
