Characterisation of a novel disease immunity pathway in plants

该项目旨在了解新型信号分子CAPE1的作用机制 植物免疫力。到目前为止，研究已经证实CAPE1抑制植物疾病，但还不清楚是如何做到的。这 该项目旨在通过阐明多肽是如何产生的，它是如何产生的，从而为该领域提供开创性的进展。 被植物感知到的，以及多肽有助于植物防御的过程。预期结果 该项目将包括一种新的植物防御途径的详细特征以及教育和 培养下一代植物科学家。实现这些成果将为新的 通过操纵这一新途径，创新疾病管理策略。

This project aims to understand the mechanisms by which the novel signalling molecule, CAPE1, contributes to plant immunity. Studies to date have confirmed that CAPE1 inhibits plant diseases but it is unknown how. This project aims to provide a seminal advance to the field by elucidating how the peptide is generated, how it is perceived by the plant and the processes by which peptide contributes to plant defence. The expected outcomes of this project will include a detailed characterisation of a novel plant defence pathway as well the education and training of next generation of plant scientists. Achieving these outcomes would provide the basis for new innovative disease management strategies through the manipulation of this novel pathway.
