Macrophomina phaseolina: General Characteristics of Pathogenicity and Methods of Control
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-22)
Macrophomina phaseolina is a generalist soil-borne fungus present all over the world. It cause diseases such as stem and root rot, charcoal rot and seedling blight. Under high temperatures and low soil moisture, this fungus ...
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 ...
Omics approaches for the engineering of pathogen resistant plants
(Horizon Scientific Press, 2015-12)
The attack of different pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi and viruses has a negative impact on crop production. In counter such attacks, plants have developed different strategies involving the modification of gene ...
Trojan hosts: the menace of invasive vertebrates as vectors of pathogens in the Southern Cone of South America
(Springer, 2021-03)
Invasive alien species (IAS) can act as vectors for the introduction of pathogens in ecosystems and their transmission to threatened native species (TNS), leading to biodiversity loss, population reductions and extinctions. ...
Rho GTPases as pathogen targets: Focus on curable sexually transmitted infections
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-05)
Pathogens have evolved highly specialized mechanisms to infect hosts. Several microorganisms modulate the eukaryotic cell surface to facilitate their engulfment. Once internalized, they hijack the molecular machinery of ...
Induction of sporulation of cercosporoid pathogens of moth vine (Araujia hortorum)
(Royal Society of New Zealand, 2019-02-25)
The South American vine Araujia hortorum (Apocynaceae) is now considered an invasive species in many countries. In New Zealand it has been targeted for biological control. In its native range in Argentina it is frequently ...
Preliminary study and improve the production of metabolites with antifungal activity by a Bacillus Sp strain IBA 33
(Libertas Academica, 2009-09)
Bacillus sp strain IBA 33 metabolites, isolated from decaying lemon fruits, were evaluated for the control of pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi (Penicillium digitatum, Geotrichum candidum, Penicillium expansum, Aspergillus ...
Bacterial Photosensory Proteins and Their Role in Plant–pathogen Interactions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-05)
Light is an important environmental signal for almost all living organisms. The light perception is achieved by photoreceptor proteins. As can be observed from the great number of bacterial genomes sequenced, plant pathogenic ...
Insights into genetic distances of pathogenic Leptospira spp. from humans, animals and environment using Multiple Locus Variable-number tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) genotypes
(iMedPub, 2017-01)
Background: Leptospirosis is the most widespread zoonosis worldwide. This disease is caused by bacteria, pathogenic strains of the genus Leptospira spp. belonging to the order Spirochaetales. These pathogenic strains of ...
Aislamiento, identificación y sensibilidad a antifúngicos de hongos patógenos y no patógenos del limónIsolation, identification and antifungal susceptibility of lemon pathogenic and non pathogenic fungi
(Asociacion Española Micología, 2005-12)
Numerosas especies de hongos filamentosos se aislaron de limones provenientes de diferentes plantaciones en la provincia de Tucumán, Argentina. Se adaptaron las técnicas recomendadas por el National Committe for Clinical ...
