Characterization of host regulatory components associated with plant disease resistance

The main goal of this research project is to identify key genes which act as transcription factors (TFs) in downstream of R gene. Since the pathway after the interaction of R gene and its effector is almost unknown, after locating the candidate gene by using the protein-protein interaction, the final step is figuring out the function of those particular gene as a TF in the pathway. In addition, RNA-Seq-based transcriptome analysis will be performed to identify host genes required for CMV replication.
