PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Elucidating the role of plasmodesmata in wheat stripe rust fungal infection

Rust diseases in wheat causes up to 20% yield losses annually. This is a major problem in Australia and globally. When a fungal rust spore lands on a wheat leaf, it germinates and initiates infection through the stoma.
