Funded Activity Summary
Pathogen recognition and plant-defence activation by a novel Fusarium wilt-resistance protein from tomato. The devastating effects of Fusarium wilt disease of tomato is a threat to one of Australia's most economically important horticultural crops. Resistant tomato varieties offer the most effective means of control but the fundamental mechanisms underlying this resistance are yet to be understood. This research will increase our understanding of resistance to Fusarium wilt disease. The knowledge gained will assist in the development of new robust, sustainable approaches to disease control, as well as the development of pre-emptive strategies to avert major outbreaks, which will ensure reliable productivity and minimal economic losses into the future.Funded Activity Details
