Brief Project Summary:

Biotic and abiotic stresses use a common signaling mechanism in the phenylalanine biosynthetic pathway to initiate plant protection in the very young seedling. This study will develop a better understanding whether phenylalanine, related metabolites and derived compounds are involved in SCN infection.
