Role of SnRK1-mediated energy signaling in plant biotic stress responses: towards a quantitative clubroot resistance in Brassica crops KU Leuven
Biotic stress is increasingly responsible for significant crop yield losses worldwide. But while research on plant stress tolerance is focusing on innate immunity and hormone action, less attention is given to the role of primary (energy) metabolism. A tight control of energy balance is crucial to growth and survival of all living organisms and central to eukaryotic energy homeostasis are the conserved AMPK/SNF1/SnRK1 protein kinases, that act ...
