Ceratocystis cacaofunesta genome analysis reveals a large expansion of extracellular phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase-C genes (PI-PLC)
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2018-01-17)
Background: The Ceratocystis genus harbors a large number of phytopathogenic fungi that cause xylem parenchyma degradation and vascular destruction on a broad range of economically important plants. Ceratocystis cacaofunesta ...
The limpet transcription factors of Triatoma infestans regulate the response to fungal infection and modulate the expression pattern of defensin genes
(Elsevier Science, 2019-05)
As part of the innate humoral response to microbial attack, insects activate the expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMP). Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of this response in the Chagas disease vector Triatoma ...
Induced expression of the Fragaria × ananassa Rapid alkalinization factor-33-like gene decreases anthracnose ontogenic resistance of unripe strawberry fruit stages
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-07-29)
Rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) genes encode for ubiquitous small peptides that stimulate apoplastic alkalinization through interaction with malectin-like receptor kinase. RALF peptides may act as negative regulators ...
Detection of changes in mould cell wall stress-related gene expression by a novel reverse transcription real-time PCR method
(Elsevier Science, 2018-06)
The cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway is activated in response to cell wall stresses due to different food-related environments. Rho1 is one of the main regulators within such pathway. The objective of this work was to ...
A small intergenic region drives exclusive tissue-specific expression of the adjacent genes in Arabidopsis thaliana
(BioMed Central, 2009-12)
Transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II is unidirectional from most genes. In plants, divergent genes, defined as non-overlapping genes organized head-to-head, are highly represented in the Arabidopsis genome. ...
Mucor rouxii Rho1 protein; characterization and possible role in polarized growth
(Springer, 2007-04)
We have previously shown that protein kinase A of the medically important zygomycete Mucor rouxii participates in fungal morphology through cytoskeletal organization. As a first step towards finding the link between protein ...
Molecular confirmation of the linkage between the rhizopus oryzae CYP51A gene coding region and its intrinsic voriconazole and fluconazole resistance
(American Society for Microbiology, 2018-08)
Rhizopus oryzae is the most prevalent causative agent of mucormycosis, an increasingly reported opportunistic fungal infection. These Mucorales are intrinsically resistant to Candida- and Aspergillus-active antifungal azole ...
Fluorescent protein expression in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor: a plasmid toolkit for easy use of fluorescent markers in basidiomycetes
(Springer, 2020-08)
For long time, studies on ectomycorrhiza (ECM) have been limited by inefficient expression of fluorescent proteins (FPs) in the fungal partner. To convert this situation, we have evaluated the basic requirements of FP ...
Nucleus-directed fluorescent reporter system for promoter studies in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Currently ectomycorrhizal research suffers from a lack of molecular tools specifically adapted to study gene expression in fungal symbionts. Considering that, we designed pReNuK, a cloning vector for transcriptional promoter ...
The fungal elicitor AsES requires a functional ethylene pathway to activate the innate immunity in strawberry
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-07)
Acremonium strictum Elicitor Subtilisin (AsES) is a fungal elicitor that activates innate immunity, conferring disease resistance in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.), Arabidopsis and other plant species. The aim of ...
