Expression of the wheat multipathogen resistance hexose transporter Lr67res is associated with anion fluxes (Ricky J Milne, Katherine E Dibley, Jayakumar Bose, Anthony R Ashton, Peter R Ryan, Stephen D Tyerman, Evans S Lagudah) https://t.co/CncvO81aYx @peterry73452611@ASPB
Chloride flux through a mutant sugar transporter (STP) family protein? In our latest #biorxiv_plants preprint, we present evidence of altered ion fluxes mediated by the broad-spectrum disease resistance gene Lr67res. Check it out at https://t.co/pLgX9P72o4
Does multi-pathogen resistance conferred by the wheat Lr67res protein occur via a gain of function involving ion fluxes, and not a loss of sugar transport?
Read about it in our #bioRxiv preprint!
