Research Project:
A RAPID ASSAY SYSTEM FOR TRANSGENES THAT CONFER RESISTANCE TO DON AND FHB
Project Number: 0500-00053-002-52
Project Type:
Grant
Start Date: Apr 24, 2006
End Date: Apr 23, 2009
Objective:
Develop a rapid and efficient whole-plant system that allows potentially useful transgenes to be assessed for efficacy against FHB before they are introduced into wheat or barley.
Approach:
Establish Physcomitrella patens as a pathosystem for studying infection by F. graminearum. Compare the efficacy of different plant transgenes against FHB in Physcomitrella. Determine the efficacy of wheat and barley genes encoding BI-1 and L3Delta to confer resistance to DON and FHB in Physcomitrella.
