PhD theses 1907 - 2020 - Plant-Microbe Interactions.
Plants have developed elaborate defence mechanisms to protect themselves against pathogens. Recently, the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has been proven to play important roles in regulating plant disease resistance.
Plant innate immunity. Plants convert sunlight and atmospheric carbon dioxide into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates (Lodish et al., 2000). Thus, plants are a source of nutrient for numerous organisms. It is logical to assume that plants defend themselves against pathogens or herbivores to avoid depletion of their nutrients.

This thesis focuses on histone acetylation as a mechanism by which plants mount an effective immune response. In Chapter 3, a reverse genetic screen of Arabidopsis HAT mutants is presented where a negative regulator (HAM2) of defence against the plant pathogen Pto DC3000 was identified.

PhD defence of Tom Raaymakers Activation of plant immunity by microbial Nep1-like protein patterns Plants can detect pathogens on the inside and outside of their cells. Two types of plasma membrane receptors are employed by plants to detect pathogens extracellularly: receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and receptor-like proteins (RLPs).
Plants are fundamental to life on earth, crucially providing the basis of our food supply. As world population continues to grow, so too does the pressure on our agricultural systems, with one of the biggest challenges being the control of plant pathogens to ensure a healthy crop.
The dissertation has been jointly supervised byCyril Zipfel(The Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich, UK) and Jacob Malone (John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK). This work has been supported by a Norwich Research Park Fellowship. Plasma membrane-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are central components of the plant innate immune system.
We are searching for enthusiastic and dedicated persons to undertake studies of cellular mechanisms in plants attacked by the barley powdery mildew fungus. We have many years of experience in research on plant immunity and powdery mildew susceptibility processes.
Graduate study in Biological Sciences puts students on the front lines of discovery. Doctoral students design, conduct and analyze original research; they develop rigorous expertise in everything from foundational theory and the study of evolution to cutting-edge research methodologies as they investigate a broad range of biological problems ranging from the molecular level to the biosphere.
This growth-immunity crosstalk does not support resistance and has been proposed to reflect the reallocation of plant resources (e.g. carbohydrates) to drive immunity at the expense of growth. However, our studies indicated that the crosstalk is based on the competitive recruitment of hormones - mobile molecules regulating growth and immunity - as the source of the observed growth-immunity.
PhD in Infectious Diseases and Immunity The IDI Program intends to create opportunities for students to gain new and advanced knowledge about infectious disease agents and how they interact with host cells, human populations, and the environment.
UoM administered thesis: Phd. Authors: Ryan Tunstall; Abstract. Thermal stripping is a major safety challenge in nuclear power generation and propulsion systems. It arises as a consequence of the heat transfer from fluid to surrounding solid components varying in time and typically occurs in regions where the mixing of hot and cold fluids.
