Abstract
The calcium-dependent protein kinase ZmCPK39 is identified as a key immune component in maize infected with foliar pathogens. Its expression is lower in resistant maize lines than in susceptible lines, leading to stabilization of the transcription factor ZmDi19, elevated expression of the anti-microbial protein ZmPR10 and enhanced resistance to multiple foliar diseases.
期刊介绍:
Nature Genetics publishes the very highest quality research in genetics. It encompasses genetic and functional genomic studies on human and plant traits and on other model organisms. Current emphasis is on the genetic basis for common and complex diseases and on the functional mechanism, architecture and evolution of gene networks, studied by experimental perturbation.
Integrative genetic topics comprise, but are not limited to:
-Genes in the pathology of human disease
-Molecular analysis of simple and complex genetic traits
-Cancer genetics
-Agricultural genomics
-Developmental genetics
-Regulatory variation in gene expression
-Strategies and technologies for extracting function from genomic data
-Pharmacological genomics
-Genome evolution
