Mina Nasr-Sharif, MSc
My project aimed to understand the involvement of plant-defence associated genes in regulating the beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis. Using a reverse genetics approach, defence genes of interest were screened for an altered symbiosis phenotype. Additionally, the promoter activities of select defence genes were visualized to provide valuable insights into their spatial and temporal expression patterns. Implications of this study are important for further discovering how the two partners in this ecologically significant mutualism interact with each other.
