The nitric oxide (NO) status was also monitored during activation of defense responses. In response to this fungus, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, callose deposition, cell death was also checked in both the cultivars. The tolerant cultivar showed enhanced defense responses (including NO)...
neutrophils, and epithelial cells, contributing to host defense. Their biological functions in innate immunity, as well as their structure and activity relationships, along with their mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential, have been of great interest in recent years. To highlight ...

mounting a regulated defense response against necrotrophic fungal pathogens.
response to the environmental cues, such as light. In all fungal species studied, the Velvet complex transcription factor VeA is a central player of the light regulatory network. In addition to growth and development, the intensity and wavelength of light affects the formation of a broad range ...
The immune system is an important defense system of our body. Its main function is to recognize host-, altered host and foreign structures, and protect against infections and tumors. It responds with tolerance to materials recognized as harmless self, while eliminating structures that are recognized...
In its promoter region several cis -elements involved in stress responses are present. Based on these results, we propose that the transcription factor encoded by gene OsEBP2 may be involved in rice defense response to infection by blast fungus and in stress response. 展开 ...
Febrile temperatures boost the probability of an effective immune response by stimulating both the innate and the adaptive arms of the immune system. The pyrogenic cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) contributes to two phases of the febrile response: it elevates the core body temperature via thermoregulat...
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production is seriously threatened by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans (P. infestans). However, it remains unclear how the two potato cultivars, Q9 (moderately resistant) and Atl (susceptible), initiate distinct defense r
The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is a prolific producer of plant cell wall degrading enzymes, which are regulated in response to diverse environmental signals for optimal adaptation, but also produces a wide array of secondary metabolites. Avail
