关于举办“Plant Susceptibility Genes and Their Application” 学术报告的通知

  报告题目:Plant Susceptibility Genes and Their Application

  报告人:Ming-Shun Chen教授

  报告时间:10月19日下午15:00

  报告地点:生命学院四楼多媒体教室

  报告摘要:

  Plant resistance genes to pathogens and insects have been widely studied and applied in Agriculture. The challenge with plant resistance mediated by major resistance genes (based on a gene-for-gene interaction) is short-lived, lasting for only a few years. Plant susceptibility, the other side of the coin of plant resistance, remains to be characterized at the molecular level. In this study, a plant susceptibility gene to both an insect and a pathogen, has been cloned and characterized. The potential of this gene (named Mds-1) in pest management has been demonstrated through transient and permanent knockdown via transgenes.
