Strangers in the matrix: plant cell walls and pathogen susceptibility
(Elsevier Science London, 2008-11)
Early in infection, pathogens encounter the outer wall of plant cells. Because pathogen hydrolases targeting the plant cell wall are well-known components of virulence, it has been assumed that wall disassembly by the plant ...
Plant cell proliferation inside an inorganic host
(Elsevier Science, 2007-01)
In recent years, much attention has been paid to plant cell culture as a tool for the production of secondary metabolites and the expression of recombinant proteins. Plant cell immobilization offers many advantages for ...
Heat stress induces ferroptosis-like cell death in plants
(Rockefeller University Press, 2017-01)
In plants, regulated cell death (RCD) plays critical roles during development and is essential for plant-specifi responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, oxidative, nonapoptotic form of ...
Elicitation, an effective strategy for the biotechnological production of bioactive high-added value compounds in plant cell factories
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2016-02)
Plant in vitro cultures represent an attractive and cost-effective alternative to classical approaches to plant secondary metabolite (PSM) production (the "Plant Cell Factory" concept). Among other advantages, they constitute ...
Nitric oxide: a non traditional regulator of plant growth
(Elsevier Science London, 2001-11-01)
Nitric oxide (NO) research is a new exciting field in plant biology. However, in part because of its chemical properties (gas, free radical, highly diffusible and reactive), the results obtained to date are more intriguing ...
Cell autoaggregation, biofilm formation, and plant attachment in a sinorhizobium meliloti lpsB mutant
(American Phytopathological Society, 2018-10)
Bacterial surface molecules are crucial for the establishment of a successful rhizobia-legume symbiosis, and, in most bacteria, are also critical for adherence properties, surface colonization, and as a barrier for defense. ...
Dairy propionibacteria prevent the proliferative effect of plant lectins on SW480 cells and protect the metabolic activity of the intestinal microbiota in vitro
(Elsevier, 2017-04)
Plant lectins are specific carbohydrate-binding proteins that are widespread in legumes such as beans and pulses, seeds, cereals, and many plants used as farm feeds. They are highly resistant to cooking and digestion, ...
Anti-cancer mechanisms of linalool and 1,8-cineole in non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells
(Elsevier Science, 2020-12)
Linalool and 1,8-cineole are plant-derived isoprenoids with anticancer activities in lung cancer cells, nevertheless, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of action remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study was ...
Cytorhabdovirus P3 genes encode 30K-like cell-to-cell movement proteins
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2016-02)
Plant viruses encode movement proteins (MP) to facilitate cell-to-cell transport through plasmodesmata. In this study, using trans-complementation of a movement-defective turnip vein-clearing tobamovirus (TVCV) replicon, ...
Measurement of expansin activity and plant cell wall creep by using a commercial texture analyzer
(Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaíso, 2017-03)
Background Expansins play an important role in cell wall metabolism and fruit softening. Determination of expansin activity is a challenging problem since it depends on measuring cell wall properties by using ad hoc ...
