This project investigates the mechanisms by which the pathogen Phytophthora infestans evades plant immunity. It focuses on understanding how specific proteins from the pathogen suppress plant defense responses, aiming to inform strategies for crop protection.
Phytophthora infestans causes the re-emerging and devastating late blight disease, which threatens potato and tomato production worldwide.
With the recent publication of the P. infestans genome, it has become clear that this hemibiotrophic pathogen secretes hundreds of effector proteins to modulate plant immunity and enable colonization.
Therefore, my long-term aim is to reveal the mode of action of P. infestans effectors and to analyze host molecular mechanisms that are perturbed by this devast…
