Research Project: **Location:
                            Corn Insects and Crop Genetics Research** Project Number: 5030-21220-068-004-A
                        
                        Project Type: Cooperative Agreement Start Date: Jun 1, 2020
                        
                        End Date: Apr 30, 2025 **Objective:**
                        
                        The project will utilize both computational and functional approaches to investigate the temporal control of immunity to obligate fungal pathogens. **Approach:**
                        
                        In Aim 1, the team will pair the new high-quality, barley genome assembly with expression Quantitative Trait Locus (eQTL) and time-course barley + powdery mildew transcriptome data to identify immune-active regulatory elements. Then in Aim 2, gene silencing and overexpression assays will be used to validate the role(s) of specific elements during pathogen attack.
