| arabidopsis ef-tu receptor enhances bacterial disease resistance in transgenic wheat. | perception of pathogen (or microbe)-associated molecular patterns (pamps/mamps) by pattern recognition receptors (prrs) is a key component of plant innate immunity. the arabidopsis prr ef-tu receptor (efr) recognizes the bacterial pamp elongation factor tu (ef-tu) and its derived peptide elf18. previous work revealed that transgenic expression of atefr in solanaceae confers elf18 responsiveness and broad-spectrum bacterial disease resistance. in this study, we developed a set of bioassays to stu ... | 2015 | 25760815 |
| resistance of callose synthase activity to free fatty acid inhibition as an indicator of fusarium head blight resistance in wheat. | the fungal pathogen fusarium graminearum is the causal agent of fusarium head blight (fhb); a devastating crop disease resulting in heavy yield losses and grain contamination with mycotoxins. we recently showed that the secreted lipase fgl1, a virulence factor of f. graminearum, targets plant defense-related callose biosynthesis during wheat head infection. this effector-like function is based on a fgl1-mediated release of polyunsaturated free fatty acids (ffa) that can inhibit callose synthase ... | 2014 | 25763484 |
| allergen relative abundance in several wheat varieties as revealed via a targeted quantitative approach using ms. | food allergy has become a major health issue in developed countries, therefore there is an urgent need to develop analytical methods able to detect and quantify with a good sensitivity and reliability some specific allergens in complex food matrices. in this paper, we present a targeted ms/ms approach to compare the relative abundance of the major recognized wheat allergens in the salt-soluble (albumin/globulin) fraction of wheat grains. twelve allergens were quantified in seven wheat varieties, ... | 2015 | 25764008 |
| adventitious roots of wheat seedlings that emerge in oxygen-deficient conditions have increased root diameters with highly developed lysigenous aerenchyma. | exposing roots of plants to hypoxic conditions is known to greatly improve their anoxic stress tolerance. we previously showed that pre-treatment of wheat seedlings with an ethylene precursor, 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid (acc), enhanced their tolerance of oxygen-deficient conditions. although acc-pretreated seminal roots of wheat seedlings grown under oxygen-deficient conditions avoided root tip death, they elongated very little. in the present study, we assessed the effects of ethylene o ... | 2014 | 25764431 |
| precisely mapping a major gene conferring resistance to hessian fly in bread wheat using genotyping-by-sequencing. | one of the reasons hard red winter wheat cultivar 'duster' (pi 644016) is widely grown in the southern great plains is that it confers a consistently high level of resistance to biotype gp of hessian fly (hf). however, little is known about the genetic mechanism underlying hf resistance in duster. this study aimed to unravel complex structures of the hf region on chromosome 1as in wheat by using genotyping-by-sequencing (gbs) markers and single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) markers. | 2015 | 25765046 |
| genome-wide characterization of developmental stage- and tissue-specific transcription factors in wheat. | wheat (triticum aestivum) is one of the most important cereal crops, providing food for humans and feed for other animals. however, its productivity is challenged by various biotic and abiotic stresses such as fungal diseases, insects, drought, salinity, and cold. transcription factors (tfs) regulate gene expression in different tissues and at various developmental stages in plants and animals, and they can be identified and classified into families according to their structural and specialized ... | 0 | 25766308 |
| sharing a host plant (wheat [triticum aestivum]) increases the fitness of fusarium graminearum and the severity of fusarium head blight but reduces the fitness of grain aphids (sitobion avenae). | we hypothesized that interactions between fusarium head blight-causing pathogens and herbivores are likely to occur because they share wheat as a host plant. our aim was to investigate the interactions between the grain aphid, sitobion avenae, and fusarium graminearum on wheat ears and the role that host volatile chemicals play in mediating interactions. wheat ears were treated with aphids and f. graminearum inoculum, together or separately, and disease progress was monitored by visual assessmen ... | 2015 | 25769834 |
| tanac1 acts as a negative regulator of stripe rust resistance in wheat, enhances susceptibility to pseudomonas syringae, and promotes lateral root development in transgenic arabidopsis thaliana. | plant-specific nac transcription factors (tfs) constitute a large family and play important roles in regulating plant developmental processes and responses to environmental stresses, but only some of them have been investigated for effects on disease reaction in cereal crops. virus-induced gene silencing (vigs) is an effective strategy for rapid functional analysis of genes in plant tissues. in this study, tanac1, encoding a new member of the nac1 subgroup, was cloned from bread wheat and charac ... | 2015 | 25774162 |
