The role of plant 90-kDa heat shock proteins in plant immunity
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2016)
Heatshock proteins of 90 kDa (Hsp90) are present in most of the living organisms. Their main function is to preserve cell viability by participating in the assembly, stabilization, maturation and activation of key signaling ...
Uncovering Plant Hormone Signaling In Nitrate - Defense Response Interaction In Tomato
(2017)
Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient whose availability significantly impacts plant growth and crop yield. Despite its role as a nutrient, N acts as a signaling molecule that modulates gene expression of a wide range ...
Epichloë Fungal Endophytes and Plant Defenses: Not Just Alkaloids
(Elsevier Science London, 2017-11)
Although the role of fungal alkaloids in protecting grasses associated with Epichloë fungal endophytes has been extensively documented, the effects of the symbiont on the host plant's immune responses have received little ...
Plant growth-defense trade-offs: Molecular processes leading to physiological changes
(MDPI AG, 2021-01-02)
In order to survive in a hostile habitat, plants have to manage the available resources to reach a delicate balance between development and defense processes, setting up what plant scientists call a trade-off. Most of these ...
Activation of early defense signals in seedlings of nicotiana benthamiana treated with chitin nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2020)
Chitin is an excellent material for the synthesis of nanoparticles because it is an elicitor and can form nanostructured materials. The application of chitin nanoparticles (CNPs) in plants can activate early defense responses ...
Temporal accumulation of salicylic acid activates the defense response against Colletotrichum in strawberry
(Elsevier France-editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2012-05)
Many authors have reported interactions between strawberry cultivars and pathogenic microorganisms, yet little is known about the mechanisms triggered in the plant. In this paper we examine the participation of the salicylic ...
The novel elicitor AsES triggers a defense response against Botrytis cinerea in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Elsevier Ireland, 2015-12)
AsES (Acremonium strictum Elicitor and Subtilisin) is a novel extracellular elicitor protein produced by the avirulent isolate SS71 of the opportunist strawberry fungal pathogen A. strictum. Here we describe the activity ...
A stringent response-defective Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens does not activate the type-3-secretion system, elicits early plant defense, and circumvents NH 4 NO 3 -induced inhibition of nodulation
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021-04-13)
When subjected to nutritional stress, bacteria modify their amino acid metabolism and cell division activities by means of the stringent response, which is controlled by the Rsh protein in alphaproteobacteria. An important ...
Soybean defense induction to Spodoptera cosmioides herbivory is dependent on plant genotype and leaf position
(2018-02-01)
Plants have evolved a diverse array of defensive mechanisms against biotic and abiotic stresses, which can be either constitutive or inducible. Variation in plant-intrinsic factors such as the genotype and the leaf position ...
