Mission

Automatically detected microcolonies of Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei (causative of powdery mildew) on barley leaf, 48 hours post-inoculation.

The Biotrophy and Immunity research group aims to expand the knowledge about the genes and mechanisms underlying the plants' basal and broad-spectrum disease resistance and enable it as a versatile and sustainable plant protection approach. Our research is based on the established model pathosystems of powdery mildews of wheat and barley to study the plant-pathogen interactions in broad genetic backgrounds. Our key technology is Microphenomics, developed and established by our research group at IPK-Leibniz Institute.

Projects

Broad-spectrum disease resistance

Broad-spectrum disease resistance (BSR) protects the host from infection by more than one pathogen species or the majority of the races of a specific pathogen. This definition emphasizes the difference to race-specific resistance, which is typically based on a single gene and provides nearly absolute protection but only against one or a few pathogen races. Although the BSR typically delivers partial protection, this resistance is usually considered more durable on the field than the race-specific resistance. Therefore, we believe that stacking multiple BSR genes is a promising approach for achieving a strong and durable disease resistance, which will complement and reinforce the existing race-specific resistance genes. However, so far, only very few BSR genes are known. Therefore, we aim to discover novel BSR genes and make them available for research and breeding applications.

Microphenomics

Microphenomics is a new approach that enables microscopic phenotyping on a large scale. It combines high-throughput automated micro- and macroscopy and Deep learning image analysis tools for achieving the very high throughput and preciseness required for phenomics applications. Our research group is developing Microphenomics tools for studying plant-pathogen interactions since 2002.
