This project investigates how plants evolve diverse immune receptors to combat pathogens. By studying gene fusions in grasses, it aims to uncover mechanisms of receptor diversification and enhance the immune response in important crops like maize and wheat.
The plant immune system is innate – it is encoded in the germline.
In natural pathosystems, plants efficiently deploy hundreds of immune receptors to detect and disarm rapidly evolving pathogens including viruses, bacteria, nematodes, insects, fungi and oomycetes.
Exactly how such receptor diversity can evolve is an elusive question with important practical ramifications. A central class of plant immune receptors, called Nucleotide Binding Leucine Rich Repeats proteins (NLR), has been implicated…
