Functional analysis of Globodera pallida effector proteins Ghent University
My project aims to investigate the function of a family of effectors (SPRYSECs) from potato cyst nematodes
Globodera pallida in collaboration with James Hutton Institute (JHI). The genome sequencing project for this
nematode, in which JHI is a partner, has shown that the SPRYSEC gene family is extremely large, consisting of
over 300 members. I have been working with 10 SPRYSEC effectors, which are expressed in ...
