Genomics of Biotic Interactions in the Triticeae

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Genetics and Genomics of the Triticeae

Part of the book series: Plant Genetics and Genomics: Crops and Models ((PGG,volume 7))

Abstract

In the area of Triticeae-pathogen interactions, highly parallel profiling of the transcriptome and proteome has provided entry points to examine host reaction to various pathogens and pests. In particular, the molecular mechanisms underlying gene-for-gene resistance and basal defense have been explored in the contrasting contexts of host vs. nonhost resistance and biotrophic vs. necrotrophic pathogenesis. Capitalizing on a rich history of genetics, molecular biology and plant pathology, recent studies in the Triticeae have provided new insights and characterized previously undescribed phenomena. The unique features of various pathosystems are increasingly leveraged by breakthroughs in genomic technologies, facilitating a community-wide approach to unifying themes of molecular plant-microbe interactions in the Triticeae.
