CHARACTERIZATION OF PROTEINS ASSOCIATED WITH RESISTANCE IN CORN AGAINST A. FLAVUS INFECTION

Objective

Clone the corresponding genes encoding resistance-associated proteins (RAPs). Study biochemical and physiological role(s) of RAPS in kernel resistance. Examine the expression of RAP genes during kernel development. Study the polymorphism of these genes to see whether there is a particular allele associated with host resistance. Perform promoter analysis of RAP genes and identify possible regulatory genes using the yeast one-hybrid system.
