  4. Functions of Two Regulators of G Protein Signaling Fusarium Graninearum

Functions of Two Regulators of G Protein Signaling Fusarium Graninearum

Objective

Develop novel strategies to eliminate, prevent, or control infestation of Fusarium graminearum as well as associated toxin production in wheat and barley.

More information

Approach: Focus on upstream global signaling mechanisms that can be manuipluated to disarm fungal defense, dispersion and toxicogenesis systems; determine the roles of proper regulation of G protein-mediated signaling on toxicogenesis and sporulation of F. graminearum.
