Funded Activity Summary

Breaching the defences: the role of hydrophobin protein monolayers in rice blast fungal infections. Rice blast is the most important disease of rice, causing significant reduction of rice yields worldwide. This project aims to understand how hydrophobin proteins from the rice blast fungus facilitate rice plant infections and to devise new methods that will safeguard Australian rice fields from this fungus.
