On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The dynamic interplay between virulence factors of a pathogen and immune system of a host determines whether disease will occur. A deep understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie host-pathogen arms race is essential for developing durable resistance. Recent research in my laboratory focuses on plant small RNAs (sRNAs) as a newly emerged battleground in plant-pathogen interactions. Wenbo will discuss our current progress on sRNA-mediated plant immunity and mechanisms employed by the devastating Phytophthora pathogens that suppress this immunity.
