Forsythe, James Michael Alexander ORCID: 0000-0001-6966-8058 (2022) Elucidating the function of the transcriptional co-repressor JAZ6 in plant immunity. PhD thesis, University of York.
Abstract
The defence of plants against pathogen infection is a topical issue critical for maintaining food security in the face of climate change. Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to regulate gene expression, enabling transcriptional reprogramming in the face of threats like herbivores and infectious pathogens. Plant hormones are crucial signalling components which contribute to transcriptional reprogramming, and for stresses like herbivores and necrotrophic pathogens the hormone jasmonic acid plays a central role. Jasmonic acid perception occurs via the F-box protein CORONATINE INSENSITIVE 1 (COI1), which enables the targeted degradation of JASMONATE ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins, the focus of this work.
