| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project aims to understand how plants defend themselves and how pathogens overcome plant immunity system in the molecular level. Identification and characterization of many genes involved in plant immunity and in pathogen virulence have revealed common and distinct factors in plant and animal immune system against pathogens. However, full understanding of biochemical functions of encoded proteins are not well achieved. Based on genomics, proteomics, chemical genomics, and strucutural analysis platform we established in the laboratory, we plan to purify and characterized protein complexes important for plant immunity and pathogen virulence to provide a unified view of how plant immunity system works.
