Characterization of a NAC Domain Protein and a Novel Protein Suppressed in Pinus taeda
Cronartium quercuum f.sp. fusiforme is the causative agent of fusiform rust, one of the most devastating diseases of southern pines in recent history. Infection generally leads to the development of spindle-shaped galls on loblolly pine. These galls are formed primarily due to swelling, distortion and accumulation of the cells that make up woody tissue. Our lab has identified two partial pine cDNAs, DD55 and H1-F11, that are highly suppressed in galled tissue.
