Project Highlights. Acquire diverse skills set centred on understanding of the ‘Biophysics of Life’ by working with Life Scientists and Chemists at Warwick University. Read more
Understanding the role of fungal effector proteins in antagonistic fungus–microbe interactions
Background. Fungi secrete a collection of proteins to their surrounding environments. In the case of plant-pathogenic fungi, many of these proteins are virulence factors, termed effectors, which function to promote host colonization through the modulation of plant physiology or immunity1. Read more
