Project:

“Characterisation and functional analysis of Fusarium oxysporum effectors”.

Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (Fol) is the causal agent of tomato wilt disease. This project aims at the functional characterization of proteins secreted by Fol upon invasion of the xylem vessels of tomato. Some of these proteins may trigger induction of basal defences, whereas others (called effectors) may suppress these responses allowing the pathogen to cause disease. Analysis of the xylem sap proteome of Fol-infected tomato plants resulted in identification of a large set of Fol secreted proteins. Here, we want to identify the function of these secreted proteins in disease, and identify their molecular targets in the plant. For this research a variety of techniques will be used including (transient)transgenesis, epitope-tagging, proteomics, disease bioassays and confocal microscopy.
