| methyl salicylate level increase in flax after fusarium oxysporum infection is associated with phenylpropanoid pathway activation. | flax (linum usitatissimum) is a crop plant valued for its oil and fiber. unfortunately, large losses in cultivation of this plant are caused by fungal infections, with fusarium oxysporum being one of its most dangerous pathogens. among the plant's defense strategies, changes in the expression of genes of the shikimate/phenylpropanoid/benzoate pathway and thus in phenolic contents occur. among the benzoates, salicylic acid, and its methylated form methyl salicylate play an important role in regul ... | 2016 | 28163709 |
| small rnas regulate the biocontrol property of fluorescent pseudomonas strain psd. | the production of biocontrol factors by pseudomonads is reported to be controlled at the post-transcriptional level by the gacs/gaca signal transduction pathway. this involves rna-binding translational repressor proteins, rsma and rsme, and the small regulatory rnas (srnas) rsmx, rsmy, and rsmz. while the former represses genes involved in secondary metabolite production, the latter relieves this repression at the end of exponential growth. we have studied the fluorescent pseudomonas strain psd, ... | 2017 | 28164793 |
