Description
Plant defenses against insects: unraveling the regulatory mechanism. Worldwide, about 15% of the harvest is lost to insect damage. To cultivate more resistant crops, knowledge about the immune system of plants is essential. With this proposal, the molecular mechanisms in plant cells that provide resistance against insects are being investigated. The research focus is on two molecular signaling pathways that jointly regulate this defense. In this research, I will combine innovative laboratory techniques with advanced computer analyses. The resulting knowledge gives plant breeders the opportunity to breed more specifically for crops carrying genes that are favorable for the immune system.
