Funded Activity Summary

Characterisation of a novel disease immunity pathway in plants. This project aims to understand the mechanisms by which the novel signalling molecule, CAPE1, contributes to plant immunity. Studies to date have confirmed that CAPE1 inhibits plant diseases but it is unknown how. This project aims to provide a seminal advance to the field by elucidating how the peptide is generated, how it is perceived by the plant and the processes by which peptide contributes to plant defence. The expected outcomes of this project will include a detailed characterisation of a novel plant defence pathway as well the education and training of next generation of plant scientists. Achieving these outcomes would provide the basis for new innovative disease management strategies through the manipulation of this novel pathway.
