,Paul Birch,professor of Plant Pathology and Head of Division of Plant Sciences.He mainly studies effector proteins from the potato late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans. P. infestans is an oomycete, a eukaryotic pathogen with a fungus-like lifestyle that develops haustoria - finger-like cell structures that form an intimate interaction with the host plasma membrane during the early stages of disease. He has shown that haustoria are a major site of delivery of a class of proteins called RXLR effectors. The RXLR motif within these secreted effectors is required for their translocation inside host cells. In the genome of P. infestans we predict that there are >425 RXLR effector genes, demonstrating a remarkable potential for manipulation of host processes. He is discovering that RXLR effectors interact directly with a range of regulatory proteins in the host cell to suppress or otherwise manipulate plant defences. In contrast, the RXLRs are also targets for host resistance proteins which activate immune responses that prevent further colonization by the pathogen.,PaulBirch,professorofPlantPathologyandHeadofDivisionofPlantSciences.Hemainlystudieseffectorproteinsfromthepotatolateblightpathogen,Phytophthorainfestans.P.infestansisanoomycete,aeukaryoticpathogenwith... 邀请授课：联系客服微信：17052226000（仅限嘉宾演讲类咨询，其他勿扰） 免责声明：以上内容（包括文字、图片、视频）为您提供嘉宾信息展示，本平台信息仅交流。若您发现嘉宾信息需要更新或移除或版权，请联系我们告知并提供证明，我们将删除或更新！
