TaMCA1, a regulator of cell death, is important for the interaction between wheat and Puccinia striiformis

Metacaspase orthologs are conserved in fungi, protozoa and plants, however, their roles in plant disease resistance are largely unknown. In this study, we identified a Triticum aestivum metacaspase gene, TaMCA1 , with three copies located on chromosomes 1A, 1B and 1D. The TaMCA1 protein contained ty...
