Project description:Recognition of microbial patterns by host pattern recognition receptors is a key step in immune activation in multicellular eukaryotes. Peptidoglycans (PGN) are major components of bacterial cell walls and possess immunity-stimulating activities in metazoans and plants. Here, we show that PGN sensing in Arabidopsis thaliana requires three LysM domain proteins, LYM1, LYM3 and CERK1.
Project description:Cytosine methylation is an important epigenetic modification of DNA that is involved in genome defense and transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes. Despite extensive efforts to understand genome-wide distribution and function of DNA methylation in mammals and plants, contribution of DNA methylation to biology of microbial eukaryotes is largely unknown to date. Here we used genetic manipulations and high-throughput bisulphite sequencing on the model plant pathogenic fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae to elucidate the dynamics and mechanics of DNA methylation during pathogenic development.
