Research Project:
Starch Degradation by Gibberella Zeae and Its Role in Fueling Development
Project Number: 0500-00053-002-57
Project Type:
Grant
Start Date: Apr 24, 2006
End Date: Apr 23, 2009
Objective:
Understand the life cycle of the main causal agent, Gibberella zeae, and provide new information that will contribute to more effective control of Fusarium head blight.
Approach:
Disrupt the genes of three classes of starch degrading enzymes to determine their effect on inoculum production, pathogenicity, and grain colonization.
