Key message: Based on transcriptome and qPCR analysis, a phenotypic abnormality resulting from a Eucalyptus crossing is associated with overexpression of metabolic pathways related to defense responses against biotic and ...

Ascending nociceptive control is a novel spino-striato-rostral ventral medulla pain modulation pathway that mediates heterosegmental pain-induced analgesia, i.e., noxious stimulus-induced antinociception. In this study, ...

Fusarium solani f. sp. eumartii is a phytopahtogenic fungus that causes dry rot in potato tubers. To analyze andcharacterize the transcriptomic profile of Solanum tuberosum cv. Spunta against F. solani f. sp. eumartiiinfection, ...

Main conclusion: DOTAP triggers Arabidopsis thaliana immunity and by priming the defense response is able to reduce bacterial pathogen attack. DOTAP is a cationic lipid widely used as a liposomal transfection reagent and ...

In nature, prey and predator species are embedded in complex networks of ecological interactions. As a consequence, organism level reactions such as predator-induced prey defenses will not only influence the dynamics of ...

We characterized the induction of hydroxamic acids (Hx) by aphid infestation in the wild wheat Triticum uniaristatum by addressing the following questions: i) Do different leaves have similar responses to aphid damage?, ...

Several fish species trigger defensive behavioral responses when exposed to chemical cues that indicate predation risk. In these situations, physiological adjustments are also necessary to prepare the organism for a defensive ...

The prostate gland is a strictly androgen-dependent organ which is also the main target of infectious and inflammatory diseases in the male reproductive tract. Host defenses and immunity of the gland have unique features ...
