Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 α1-Microglobulin (A1M) is a small glycoprotein that belongs to the lipocalin protein family. A major biological role of A1M is to protect cells and tissues against oxidative damage by clearing free heme and reactive oxygen species.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ethylene plays a crucial role in fruit ripening and is perceived by specialised receptor proteins embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. As an ethylene antagonist, 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) binds to these receptors and delays papaya ripening, but improper use can cause ripening disorders.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.

An effector of the Irish potato famine pathogen antagonizes a host autophagy cargo receptor [PDF]
, 2016 Plants use autophagy to safeguard against infectious diseases. However, how plant pathogens interfere with autophagy-related processes is unknown. Here, we show that PexRD54, an effector from the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans, binds

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efficient nitrogen (N) uptake is critical for crop yield, but soil salinization inhibits plant nitrogen acquisition. In this study, the nitrate (NO3−) transporter gene SsNRT2.5 and its promoter from the halophyte Suaeda salsa was investigated to elucidate the functional role in NO3− transport under salinity and low NO3−–N conditions.

An Aphid Effector Targets Trafficking Protein VPS52 in a Host-Specific Manner to Promote Virulence [PDF]
, 2017 Plant- and animal-feeding insects secrete saliva inside their hosts, containing effectors, which may promote nutrient release and suppress immunity. Although for plant pathogenic microbes it is well established that effectors target host proteins to ...

AhBWR15, A Novel RLK Gene, Confers Resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum in Peanut
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bacterial wilt (BW), a severe soil‐borne disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, significantly impedes global peanut production. Despite its impact, the mechanisms underlying BW resistance in peanut remain unclear. Herein, we selected the highly resistant variety Nongdahua108 (H108) and the susceptible variety Nongdahua107 (H107) to develop ...

Straightforward and affordable agroinfiltration with RUBY accelerates RNA silencing research
Plant Molecular BiologyAbstractTransient expression and induction of RNA silencing by agroinfiltration is a fundamental method in plant RNA biology. Here, we introduce a new reporter assay using RUBY, which encodes three key enzymes of the betalain biosynthesis pathway, as a polycistronic mRNA.

Production of highly bioactive resveratrol analogues pterostilbene and piceatannol in metabolically engineered grapevine cell cultures [PDF]
, 2017 Summary Grapevine stilbenes, particularly trans-resveratrol, have a demonstrated pharmacological activity. Other natural stilbenes derived from resveratrol such as pterostilbene or piceatannol, display higher oral bioavailability and bioactivity than the
