| chickpea-fusarium oxysporum interaction transcriptome reveals differential modulation of plant defense strategies. | fusarium wilt is one of the major biotic stresses reducing chickpea productivity. the use of wilt-resistant cultivars is the most appropriate means to combat the disease and secure productivity. as a step towards understanding the molecular basis of wilt resistance in chickpea, we investigated the transcriptomes of wilt-susceptible and wilt-resistant cultivars under both fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri (foc) challenged and unchallenged conditions. transcriptome profiling using longsage provided ... | 2017 | 28798320 |
| structure-function analysis of the fusarium oxysporum avr2 effector allows uncoupling of its immune-suppressing activity from recognition. | plant pathogens employ effector proteins to manipulate their hosts. fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (fol), the causal agent of tomato wilt disease, produces effector protein avr2. besides being a virulence factor, avr2 triggers immunity in i-2 carrying tomato (solanum lycopersicum). fol strains that evade i-2 recognition carry point mutations in avr2 (e.g. avr2(r45h) ), but retain full virulence. here we investigate the virulence function of avr2 and determine its crystal structure. transg ... | 2017 | 28857169 |
| c-coordinated o-carboxymethyl chitosan metal complexes: synthesis, characterization and antifungal efficacy. | a novel type of o-carboxymethyl chitosan schiff bases (o-cspx) was synthesized via a condensation reaction. after the coordination reaction of cupric ions, zinc ions and nickel ions, metal complexes (o-cspx-m) were achieved. the theoretical structure of o-cspx-m calculated by gaussian 09 reveals that the copper ions and nickel ions underwent dsp(2) hybridization, the zinc ions underwent sp(3) hybridization, and they all coordinated by the carbon atom in the p-π conjugate group. then, the structu ... | 2017 | 28774807 |
| disease resistance to multiple fungal and oomycete pathogens evaluated using a recombinant inbred line population in pepper. | incorporating disease resistance into cultivars is a primary focus of modern breeding programs. resistance to pathogens is often introgressed from landrace or wild individuals with poor fruit quality into commercial-quality cultivars. sites of multiple disease resistance (mdr) are regions or "hotspots" of the genome with closely linked genes for resistance to different pathogens that could enable rapid incorporation of resistance. an f2-derived f6 recombinant inbred line population from a cross ... | 2017 | 28762287 |
| elucidation of the biosynthetic pathway of cis-jasmone in lasiodiplodia theobromae. | in plants, cis-jasmone (cj) is synthesized from α-linolenic acid (la) via two biosynthetic pathways using jasmonic acid (ja) and iso-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (iso-opda) as key intermediates. however, there have been no reports documenting cj production by microorganisms. in the present study, the production of fungal-derived cj by lasiodiplodia theobromae was observed for the first time, although this production was not observed for botrytis cinerea, verticillium longisporum, fusarium oxysporum, ... | 2017 | 28751737 |
