Abstract
This thesis explores the importance of host nutrient transporter systems in plant pathogen infections focusing on the one hand on UmamiT amino acid and SWEET sugar transport proteins, and on the other hand on bZIP transcription factors as potential regulators of transporter genes using the plant model Arabidopsis thaliana and three pathogens. The pathogens investigated are the hemibiotrophic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 as well as the hemibiotrophic fungus Colletotrichum higginsianum and the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea.
