Using purification and mutational genomic approaches, as well as a technique allowing the measurement of directed hyphal growth, today I'm glad to tell you that after 130 years, my former team and I could finally identify such plant signals by studying the interaction between a pathogenic fungus called Fusarium oxysporum and one of its host plants, the tomato plant.
Menggunakan pemurnian dan pendekatan mutasi genetik, serta teknik yang memungkinkan pengukuran pertumbuhan hifa yang diarahkan, hari ini, saya senang memberitahukan Anda, bahwa setelah 130 tahun, mantan tim saya dan saya akhirnya dapat mengidentifikasikan sinyal tanaman dengan cara mempelajari interaksi antara fungus patogenik yang bernama Fusarium oxysporum dan salah satu tanaman inangnya, tanaman tomat.
