Funded Activity Summary

Molecular interaction between tomato and Fusarium oxysporum. This project aims to develop fungus-resistant crops. Fungal pathogens of crop plants threaten food production food security. The fungus Fusarium oxysporum is the fifth most notorious fungal pathogens of crop plants. This project will use the tomato–Fusarium oxysporum pathosystem to discover how Fusarium manipulates plants to infect them and how plants can resist Fusarium infection. Anticipated outcomes include reduced yield loss in tomato and other crop plants by using genome-editing techniques to develop Fusarium-resistant cultivars.
