PhD project Pathogen-inducible peroxisomal proteins mediating disease resistance

All cells of animals and plants are subdivided into compartments. Like the well-known mitochondria, plastids and the cell nucleus, peroxisomes are essential cell organelles, in which many important oxidative reactions take place. A few peroxisomal proteins are already known to be important for crop plants to combat pests and pathogens. In this PhD project, novel proteins and plant mechanisms conferring resistance to pests and pathogens shall be identified in the model plant Arabidopsis and functionally be described. Genes induced under defence hormone application and virulent and avirulent bacterial strains will be identified by experimental and computational methods and their molecular function partly be characterized. The basic research data obtained by this research project likely will be instrumental in boost the innate immune system of plants, thereby increasing the productivity of crop plants, reducing crop losses by pest and pathogen attack.
