Pls1 tetraspanins were shown for some pathogenic fungi to be essential for appressorium-mediated penetration into their host plants. We show here that Podospora anserina, a saprobic fungus lacking appressorium, contains PaPls1, a gene orthologous to known PLS1 genes. Inactivation of PaPls1 demon...
Diet, the clinical definition of which is the total food intake by an individual over a given time period, is believed to be linked to obesity with the gut microbiota also playing an important role [4]. Thus, the hypothesis that obesity can be controlled by modulating the gut microbiota may...
Pili need to be formed by bacteria, as they are a method of adhering to thehostorganismwhich helps them infect the host cell. From Wikipedia This example is from Wikipedia and may be reused under a CC BY-SA license. He developed bacteria and fungi may regress or downgrade back to harmless...
Route surveys in the Kochubeyevsky district (the zone of average disease severity) and laboratory analysis of samples allowed us to establish that the dominant species of Fusarium fungi isolated from winter wheat seeds is Fusarium graminearum Schwabe. Corn agrocenoses, in which the pathogen ...
Critical care ultrasound has been widely used to examine patients from head to toe in the ICU [1–7]. Protocolized ultrasound examination is so important that with it the information of multiple organs could be integrated as a full picture to make us understand more about the patient, which ...
PLS1, a gene encoding a tetraspanin-like protein, is required for penetration of rice leaf by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe grisea Unravelling functions implicated in the infection process of plant pathogenic fungi is an important challenge for crop protection. We are using as a model ... PH ...
Role of melanin in appressorium function Appressoria of certain pathogenic fungi appear darkly pigmented due to a discrete cell wall layer of melanin. We have studied the function of appressorial melanin using wild-type and melanin-deficient strains of the rice blast pathogen M... RJ Howard,...
fungal pathogenbiological controlsunflowerDisease resistance is a highly desirable crop trait in the sustainable agricultural industry. Endophytic fungi with gibberellins-secreting potential are now widely known for their ability to stimulate plant growth, but their role in promoting disease resistance in ...
After entry of a quarantine/regulated pathogen, infected plants shall be destroyed, and the cultivated area (e.g., greenhouse) shall be disinfected. Therefore, the selection of an effective disinfectant plays an important role. With the availability of different methods for virus quantification, we...
This is also enforced by economic calculations regarding the production of seedlings, particularly of those vaccinated with mycorrhizal fungi [14,15]. Modern forest nursery technologies and techniques should therefore be based on very high-quality seeds, each of which could produce a seedling with ...
