Overexpression of AtTTP affects ARF17 expression and leads to male sterility in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Callose synthesis is critical for the formation of the pollen wall pattern. CalS5 is thought to be the major synthethase for the callose wall. In the Arabidopsis anther, ARF17 regulates the expression of CalS5 and is the target of miR160.

Transgenic tobacco plants expressing the Potato virus X open reading frame 3 gene develop specific resistance and necrotic ring symptoms after infection with the homologous virus [PDF]
Tobacco plants were transformed with the open reading frame 3 gene from Potato virus X (PVX) coding for the p12 protein. Although the transgenic plants exhibited a normal morphological aspect, microscopic examination revealed extensive alterations in ...

Biochar-amended potting medium reduces the susceptibility of rice to root-knot nematode infections [PDF]
Background: Biochar is a solid coproduct of biomass pyrolysis, and soil amended with biochar has been shown to enhance the productivity of various crops and induce systemic plant resistance to fungal pathogens.

Callose-associated silica deposition in Arabidopsis [PDF]
The mechanism of biological silicification in plants remains to be elucidated. There are strong arguments supporting a role for the plant extracellular matrix and the β-1-3-glucan, callose, has been identified as a possible template for silica deposition

Role of Jasmonic Acid Pathway in Tomato Plant-Pseudomonas syringae Interaction [PDF]
The jasmonic acid pathway has been considered as the backbone of the response against necrotrophic pathogens. However, a hemi-biotrophic pathogen, such as Pseudomonas syringae, has taken advantage of the crosstalk between the different plant hormones in ...

We report five patients in whom localised callosities were found on the dorsum of the feet. This was bilateral in four cases and was due to repetitive minor trauma associated with the sitting posture adopted by the patients. Three of the patients also had psoriasis vulgaris which was clinically dissimilar to the lesions we describe.

Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum Effector Protein ScAA9 Contributes to Virulence and Triggers Plant Immune Responses. [PDF]
The AA9 family protein ScAA9 of Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum plays dual roles as both a virulence factor for infection and a PAMP for host immune manipulation, highlighting the complexity of S. cucurbitacearum–host interactions. ABSTRACT Fungal pathogens secrete cell wall‐degrading enzymes that either act as virulence factors or are perceived by ...
