Funded Activity Summary
Cereals and rusts: molecular interactions for plant defence, food security. This project aims to discover the fundamental molecular interactions between proteases and protease inhibitors that occur in the ongoing conflict between cereals and their rust fungal pathogens. The research combines plant pathology, genomics and functional proteomics, and is enabled by a rapidly developing experimental approach known as activity-based protein profiling. The knowledge and outcomes potentially benefit plant breeders through significantly improved resistance of cereals to rust diseases in Australia and overseas, thereby enhancing global food security.Funded Activity Details
