This project investigated how plants respond to invading pathogens using microscopic, biochemical and genetic approaches. The development of transgenic plants containing the green fluorescent protein cloned from jellyfish enabled a new approach to studying plant defence genes. In particular, the role and involvement of the plant gene PAL1 was analysed.
