Analyzing the role of plant cell wall composition in plant-microbe interactions

Project Abstract

<p> The plant cell wall is a complex structure that plays a crucial role in plant-microbe interactions. This project aims to analyze the role of plant cell wall composition in these interactions. The study will focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the recognition and response of plant cell walls to microbial pathogens and beneficial symbionts. By investigating the composition and modifications of cell wall components, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin, this research will contribute to our knowledge of plant defense mechanisms, microbial virulence factors, and the development of novel strategies for crop protection and microbial control <br></p>
