Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Audren Jiquel"
Recent research by Audren Jiquel focuses on the molecular interactions between plant pathogens and their hosts, particularly regarding the role of 'late' effectors in disease resistance mechanisms.
Jiquel's studies investigate how these effectors influence quantitative disease resistance (QDR) in crops like Brassica napus, suggesting that resistance may be linked to a gene-for-gene interaction model.
His work utilizes advanced techniques such as transposon-sequencing to uncover fitness genes in Agrobacterium tumefaciens, enhancing our understanding of pathogen colonization in both host and non-host plants.
