The main goal of pathogens when infecting plants is to obtain nutrients necessary for their growth. For this purpose, in the first phase of infection, pathogens secrete plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDE): polygalacturonases (PG), pectin lyases (PL) and pectin methylesterases (PME), as...
The life cycle, phenology, and abundance of Epuraea obliquus Hatch was studied near Hinton, Alberta, Most of the life cycle occurs on galls of Endocronartium harknessii (J.P. Moore) Y. Hiratsuka (western gall rust) infecting lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. var latifolia Engelm.), ...
The genus Phomopsis (teleomorph Diaporthe) comprises phytopathologically important microfungi with diverse host associations and a worldwide distribution.
Wheat (Triticum durumL, 2n = 4x = 28 chromosomes, AABB) belongs to the family Poaceae and the genus Triticum [1]. It has an annual average yield of 3.39 metric tons ha-1 [2] globally and 4 tons ha-1 with the overall production of 6.7 million tons under rain-fed agriculture...
a MAMP from fungi, suggesting that prePIP1 may play a conserved role in plant resistance to diverse pathogens. Consistently, the expression ofprePIP1in leaves and in roots is induced by the bacterialPstDC3000 and the fungalF. oxysporumf. sp.conglutinansstrain 699 (Foc 699), respectively, ...

H. undatus stems and flower aqueous extracts applied to the surface of wounds in diabetic rats exhibit significant wound-healing properties. The healing effect is due to the extract’s increased DNA collagen content, hydroxyproline, tensile strength, total proteins, and better epithelization. That ...
Interspecific hybridization and mutation breeding have been used in Alstroemeria to improve important horticultural characteristics such as flower color, vase life (delay loss of chlorophyll in leaves) and disease resistance (Lin et al., 2000; Kim et al., 2006). However, there is not enough ...
Carpel, which is present in the center of a flower, is the female reproductive part. Carpel is made of three parts. The bottom part, which is swollen, is the ovary; the middle part, which is elongated, is known as the style; and the terminal part, which may be sticky, is known as...
