Responses of wheat to infection by Mycosphaerella graminicola
… leaves inoculated with virulent M. graminicola. Expression of 11 plant defence- and senescence-related genes was tested in eight variety/isolate combinations which involved Stb6 and Stb15, the two most common resistance genes in European wheat. Inoculation with M. graminicola caused a large …

The Molecular Consequences of CK2-mediated Phosphorylation of the TGA2 Transcription Factor within Systemic Acquired Resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana
During infection, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana is capable of activating long lasting defence responses both in tissue directly affected by the pathogen and in more distal tissue. Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a type of systemic defence response deployed against biotrophic pathogens …

Characterization of Host Plant Defense Responses to Parasitization by <I>Orobanche aegyptiaca</I>
<I>Orobanche</I> (spp.) are parasitic plants that attack the roots of many important crops. <I>O. aegyptiaca</I> penetrates the host root (aided by digestive enzymes) and forms connections to the host vascular tissue, from which it will withdraw all of its water and nutrient requirements. In order …

From cradle to grave: The influence of mRNA metabolism on plant stress responses
The sessile nature of plants necessitates complex molecular responses to external stimuli, including environmental change. As the intermediary between DNA and protein, mRNA is a crucial cog in plant gene expression, and consequently a key regulatory target. During stress, control of mRNA metabolism …

Profiling of gene expression in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) line PI 137739 in response to Russian wheat aphid (Diuraphis noxia Mordvilco) feeding
… PI 137739 is known to contain the RWA resistance gene, Dn1. The study was conducted by utilising and combining a vast array of molecular biological techniques. Chapter 1 introduces the reader to a summary of the resistance responses observed within infested plants. A detailed description of the …

Subcellular localisation and functional analysis of UVR8, a UV-B specific signalling component in Arabidopsis
… of the daylight spectrum that regulates plant gene expression and development, but very little is known about how plants perceive UV-B. Although UV-B-induced damage and repair have been extensively investigated, the mechanisms by which UV-B is perceived as a signal, which mediates …
