Crucially this project will determine to what extent our immunity gene network is conserved in other crops (testing celery and cucurbits). Conservation of the network would be a significant discovery as it would open-up opportunities for exploiting our network findings in these crops without having to repeat the large-scale data generation that underlies it. The student will use existing lettuce gene editing protocols in our lab and new gene editing protocols for other crops developed in a collaborative KTP with Tozer Seeds. The work would have major academic impact in terms of future research approaches and our ability to manipulate defence gene networks.

至关重要的是，该项目将决定我们的免疫力基因网络在其他农作物（测试芹菜和葫芦）中保守的程度。该网络的保护将是一个重大发现，因为它将为在这些农作物中利用我们的网络发现开放，而不必重复大规模的数据生成。该学生将在我们的实验室中使用现有的生菜基因编辑方案，并为与Tozer Seeds合作的KTP中开发的其他农作物的新基因编辑方案。这项工作将在未来的研究方法和操纵防御基因网络的能力方面产生重大的学术影响。
