Projekt
Functional diversity of the Arabidopsis thaliana SHRK family (B08)
Subject Area
Plant Genetics and Genomics
Term
since 2023
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 491090170
Receptor-like kinases are modular proteins that enable plant cells to monitor and react to their environment. At least three distinct Arabidopsis SymRK Homologous Receptor-like Kinase (AtSHRK) paralogs are involved in the interaction with the obligate biotrophic opomycete and causative agent of downy mildew disease Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. In this project, we will explore the mechanistic details and functional diversification of SHRK signalling in downy mildew disease and other biotic interactions. Overall, we expect to illuminate common and distinct signalling mechanisms of SHRKs and increase our understanding of their role in plant-microbe interactions.
