Symposium to highlight regulation of plant immune responses

The Symposium: Signal Transduction Mechanisms in Plant Defense Activation will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 24, 2001 in Ballrooms A,D& E of the Rhode Island Convention Center as part of the annual meeting of the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB).

Dr. Xinnian Dong of Duke University will present results of research on regulation of systemic acquired resistance as it relates to the NPR1 gene and its partners in the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Systemic acquired resistance is a plant immune response that is often activated after a local infection.

Participating in the same symposium is Dr. Daniel Klessig of the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research. To help elucidate the mechanisms of salicylic acid action, Klessig's lab has identified several tobacco proteins which interact with salicylic acid. Klessig has used mutant analyses of Arabidopsis to identify several more potential components in the salicylic acid-mediated pathway.

Dr. Andrew Bent of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, will present his findings on nucleotide binding site - leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) plant disease resistance gene products: functional domains and downstream response activation.

Dr. Gregory Martin of the Boyce Thompson Institute will make a presentation on Pseudomonas effector proteins and Pto-mediated disease resistance in tomato.
