Targeting Agrobacterium tumefaciens: A Computational Study on Quorum Sensing Inhibition

Journal of Basic Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crown gall disease, caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, results in significant loss in agricultural productivity losses due to induced tumor‐like growths on various crops. The virulence of A. tumefaciens is controlled by its quorum sensing (QS) system, specifically through the TraR protein, which regulates the expression of genes essential ...

Cloning PIP genes in drought-tolerant vetiver grass and responses of transgenic VzPIP2;1 soybean plants to water stress

Biologia Plantarum, 2016
Vetiver grass [Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash] displays comprehensive abiotic stress tolerance closely related to fine maintenance of plant water relation mediated by plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs).

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal genotype and nuclear organization as driving factors in host plant nutrient acquisition and stable carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
It is crucial to develop strategies for reducing our continued excessive global increases in fertilizer applications and to offset CO2 emissions. The pervasive underground hyphal networks of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) present an enticing bio‐stimulant and carbon sink. We inoculated Sudan‐grass plants with eight genotypically distinct strains of

Genetic transformation of barley: limiting factors

Biologia Plantarum, 2011
This review summarizes main difficulties involved in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) transformation. The most commonly used procedures for genetic transformation in barley are Agrobacterium tumefaciens and particle bombardment mediated methods.

A point mutation in IAA34 confers resistance to the auxin herbicide 2,4‐D in Sisymbrium orientale

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A point mutation in domain IV of SoAux/IAA34‐R provides resistance to 2,4‐D. Abstract BACKGROUND Sisymbrium orientale has evolved resistance to 2,4‐D in Australia due to a 27 bp deletion in SoIAA2. However, one population of Sisymbrium orientale resistant to 2,4‐D (R1) did not contain the SoIAA2Δ27, suggesting another 2,4‐D resistance mechanism was ...

RNAi technology development for weed control: all smoke and no fire?

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Despite the potential of Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing in weed management several critical points such as molecular target, weed species of interest as well as delivery techniques need to be addressed. Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) technology, specifically Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS), holds potential as an innovative approach for selective ...

Discovery of the Agrobacterium growth inhibition sequence in virus and its application to recombinant clone screening

AMB Express, 2019
Infectious clone vectors used widely in genetic research. While constructing soybean mosaic virus (SMV) clone vectors, we found that transformed Agrobacterium grew significantly different depending on the viral strains used.

Unlocking agro‐ecosystem sustainability: exploring the bottom‐up effects of microbes, plants, and insect herbivores

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 465-484, May 2025.
Microorganism‐released metabolites, proteins, or toxins modulate plant‐based targets to regulate physiological processes such as phytohormone and nutrition balance and stress resistance. Microbes that affect plant physiological processes regulate the visual, olfactory, and gustatory cues associated with plants to attract or repel insect herbivores and ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens responses to plant-derived signaling molecules

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
As a special phytopathogen, Agrobacterium tumefaciens infects a wide range of plant hosts and causes plant tumors also known as crown galls. The complexity of Agrobacterium-plant interaction has been studied for several decades.

Plant viruses convergently target NPR1 with various strategies to suppress salicylic acid‐mediated antiviral immunity

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 1395-1412, May 2025.
Viral infection triggers monomerization and nuclear translocation of the salicylic acid receptor NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS‐RELATED GENES1 (NPR1) to activate pathogenesis‐related gene expression. Nevertheless, viruses have developed one or more proteins to target NPR1 and impair its functionality through mechanisms such as inducing its degradation ...
