For instance, the TIR domain of the tobacco N gene is essential and sufficient for its association with the pathogen-derived elicitor p50, conferring resistance to tobacco mosaic virus [86]. The plant defense system relies on the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade, various ...
Groundnut is cultivated in several African countries where it is a major source of food, feed and income. One of the major constraints to groundnut production in Africa is groundnut rosette disease (GRD), which is caused by a complex of three agents: groundnut rosette assistor luteovirus, groun...
Plant stress is an unfavourable environmental constraint affecting the plant growth and development leading to a worldwide loss in agricultural productivity. The environmental stress on plants can be biotic or abiotic. Biotic stress involves the damage c
N. benthamiana was used because it is a natural mutant that does not express a functional RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 1. Results Antimycin A (an alternative respiratory pathway inducer and also an inducer of resistance to viruses) and SA triggered resistance to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). ...
If a region is found associated with the desired traits of interest, fine mapping also can be done with additional markers to identify the marker(s) tightly linked to the gene controlling the trait. A favorable genetic map should have an adequate number of evenly-spaced polymorphic markers to ...
Bidi tobaccoGermplasmHybridTobacco mosaic virusVarietal trials.Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) which causes mosaic disease in tobacco is one of the most destructive plant viruses in the world. Management through chemicals is often uneconomical and highly variable, hence an attempt was made to assess the ...
Virus-like particles are an emerging class of nano-biotechnology with the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) having found a wide range of applications in imaging, drug delivery, and vaccine development. TMV is typically produced in planta, and, as an RNA virus, is highly susceptible to natural mutation...
Barley is not the only plant that shows this type of activation of immune responses; in tobacco, the TIR–NBS–LRR protein responsible for the immune response against Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is localized only in the nucleus in inoculated cells, unlike that observed in noninoculated cells, ...
Benzaldehyde, the simplest aromatic aldehyde, is one of the most wide-spread volatiles that serves as a pollinator attractant, flavor, and antifungal compound. However, the enzyme responsible for its formation in plants remains unknown. Using a combinati
engineered virus-like particles designed from capsid proteins of shrimp nodavirus armed with EGFR-specific (GE11) peptide exhibited antigen-dependent in vitro transduction in EGFR positive cell lines but not in EGFR-negative control cells [63]. Another promising gene delivery virus is the herpes sim...
