Boris Szurek (IRD Montpellier) présente un séminaire intitulé "Impairing TAL Effector-mediated susceptibility to control Bacterial Leaf Blight of rice".

  • Abstract :

Plant cells infected by Xanthomonas bacterial pathogens undergo massive transcriptomic reprogramming under the influence of the TAL (Transcription Activator-Like) effectors. SWEET/nodulin-3 genes which encode sugar transporters, appear as major TAL virulence targets. I will present our latest results showing their function as susceptibility genes to the rice pathogen X. oryzae pv. oryzae, and how this knowledge can be used to foster new broad-spectrum resistance strategies.
