Not exact matches

Dr Stotz continued: «This concept of plant ETI does not really explain the second line of defense in the interaction of plant hosts protecting themselves against extracellular fungal pathogens — i.e. those foliar fungal pathogens that get into the leaf of the plant to exploit the space between its cells, known as the apoplast, to retrieve nutrients from the plant.

I moved to Cornell University for a Ph.D. studying interactions between herbivorous insects and host plants.

Previous studies that have considered function have mainly looked at a single host - microbe interaction, such as the one between an Arabidopsis plant and a pathogen.

While beneficial microbes are becoming a more common tool in agriculture, their effectiveness in the field is severely blunted thanks to real - world environmental stressors like heat and drought, competition with other microbes, and interactions with the host plant.

Give - and - take: interactions between DNA transposons and their host plant genomes.

By sequencing multiple butterfly genomes and identifying patterns of genetic divergence in areas critical to biotic interaction, such as wing pattern and host - plant usage, he and his team hope to identify differences that reveal the causes of accelerated speciation and greater biodiversity in the tropics.

His research seeks to understand the forms of coevolutionary selection created by interactions between species - plants and pollinators, hosts and parasites, predators and prey - and the importance of this selection over the evolutionary history of life on Earth.

The focus is on molecular microbiology and virology, and includes topics such as genomics, the gamut of plant and animal host - pathogen interactions, host immune responses, characterization and evolution of virulence determinants, cell cycle and differentiation, symbiosis in plant and animal associations, environmental microbiology, biodiversity and evolution, population dynamics, sex and mutagenesis, antibiotic resistance and production, drug and vaccine targets, as well as aspects of prion diseases and of fungal and protozoan biology.

As a Project Leader in CSIRO based in Perth, Western Australia, his research has focused primarily on the molecular basis of aphid ‐ host plant interactions, which now includes board membership in the International Aphid Genomics Consortium (IAGC) and strong collaborations with the Institute of Zoology (CAS Beijing), Kansas State University (USA), INRA Rennes (France) and BGI Shenzhen (China).

This has significance and potential impact for agriculture and the national economy in the form of developing potential biofuels feedstocks, understanding host - pathogen interactions, and improving crop plant biomass.

Nevertheless, it may be difficult to extrapolate our results to natural conditions as we (1) have not considered potential changes in biotic interactions (Sentis et al., 2013), (2) did not quantitatively assess changes in host plant quality due to heat stress and only included low relative humidity as an additional factor (Bauerfeind and Fischer, 2013a), (3) did not consider effects of different host plants (Bauerfeind and Fischer, 2013b), and (4) did not apply temperature variation in the adult stage.

It may also dip into more specific interests of my research group, which is focused on plant - parasite interactions, understanding the parasite host - finding response, and developing new methods of control.
