Research Project:
MODIFICATION OF THE RIBOSOMAL TARGET TO ENHANCE RESISTANCE TO TRICHOTHECENE MYCOTOXINS
Project Number: 0500-00053-002-58
Project Type:
Grant
Start Date: Apr 24, 2006
End Date: Apr 23, 2009
Objective:
Identify mutations in L3 that confer resistance to DON and determine if FHB resistance can be engineered in transgenic wheat plants by expressing DON resistant L3 genes.
Approach:
Characterize expression of the DON resistant L3 genes in transgenic wheat plants and determine if they will confer resistance to FHB. Analyze expression of PAP and L3delta in co-transformed wheat lines and determine if combination of these genes confers better resistance to FHB. Isolate DON resistant alleles of the wheat L3 genes for transformation into wheat.
