Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus : Studies on viral synergism and suppression of RNA silencing [PDF]
The studies presented in this thesis aimed to a better understanding of the molecular biology of Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV, Crinivirus, Closteroviridae) and its role in the development of synergistic viral diseases.

In Vitro Culture and Transformation by Agroinfiltration of Lisianthus (Eustoma russellianus) Pollen
Optimized conditions for Agrobacterium-mediated lisianthus pollen transformation were adjusted using various factors such as temperature, pH and sucrose concentration. Pollen tube growth was successfully achieved in a medium (pollen germination medium; PGM) containing sucrose with pH in the range of 5.5-7.0 at temperature of .

ABSTRACT Efficient viral proliferation within the host is a critical step in pathogenicity and requires adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The replication, movement and immune evasion of many plant viruses within their hosts are associated with phase separation (PS)‐derived aggregates formed by viral components.

H3K27me3‐Mediated Epigenetic Silencing of FgHMG1 Enables Fungal Host Immune Evasion
ABSTRACT Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) is essential for fungal pathogenicity, yet its contribution to pathogen–host interactions remains incompletely understood. Here, we profiled H3K27me3 dynamics in Fusarium graminearum during infection and identified 132 H3K27me3‐marked genes (FgHMGs).

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum
ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.

ABSTRACT Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) produces premium‐quality fibres, yet the genetic basis underlying its fibre development remains elusive. Here, we identify two key non‐synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, G/C and G/A) in the gene Gbar_D13G024080, which encodes the TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN 209 (TMEM209). These SNPs resulted in

Using Viral Induced Gene Silencing to Investigate a Methylation-Based Antiviral Defense in Tomato [PDF]
My project will be using a novel virus vector based on the geminivirus Beet curly top virus (BCTV) to attempt to silence genes in plants. Silencing occurs when over-expression of viral genes, and passenger gene segments inserted into the virus, triggers

ABSTRACT Plant viruses drive widespread crop epidemics, yet the host plant responses across different cell types, particularly how these responses are influenced by cultivars with varying genetic backgrounds, including the presence of resistance (R) genes, remain poorly understood. Using tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and two tomato cultivars,

A novel role for the TIR domain in association with pathogen-derived elicitors [PDF]
Plant innate immunity is mediated by Resistance (R) proteins, which bear a striking resemblance to animal molecules of similar function. Tobacco N is a TIR-NB-LRR R gene that confers resistance to Tobacco mosaic virus, specifically the p50 helicase ...

Transient expression of CCL21 chemokine in chickpea via agroinfiltration
IntroductionChemokine (C-C motif) ligand 21 (CCL21) has anti-tumor efficacy and used for immunotherapy based on cytokinins against cancer cells. Immune potentiating of CCL21 chemokine via DC and stromal cell-based approaches for effective recruitment and activation of APC and T cells for promotion of antitumor activity in lung cancer was evaluated ...
