Decreased Polysaccharide Feruloylation Compromises Plant Cell Wall Integrity and Increases Susceptibility to Necrotrophic Fungal Pathogens [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The complexity of cell wall composition and structure determines the strength, flexibility, and function of the primary cell wall in plants. However, the contribution of the various components to cell wall integrity and function remains unclear ...

Class-A penicillin binding proteins do not contribute to cell shape but repair cell-wall defects
eLife, 2020 Cell shape and cell-envelope integrity of bacteria are determined by the peptidoglycan cell wall. In rod-shaped Escherichia coli, two conserved sets of machinery are essential for cell-wall insertion in the cylindrical part of the cell: the Rod complex ...

mBio, 2021 Synthesis and turnover of the bacterial cell wall must be tightly coordinated to avoid structural integrity failure and cell death. Details of this coordination are poorly understood, particularly if and how cell wall turnover enzymes are required for ...

Fission yeast cell wall biosynthesis and cell integrity signalling
The Cell Surface, 2018 The cell wall is a structure external to the plasma membrane that is essential for the survival of the fungi. This polysaccharidic structure confers resistance to the cell internal turgor pressure and protection against mechanical injury. The fungal wall

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Yeast have long been known to possess a cell wall integrity (CWI) system, and recently an analogous system has been described for the primary walls of plants (PCWI) that leads to changes in plant growth and cell wall composition.

Induced defense strategies of plants against Ralstonia solanacearum
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Plants respond to Ralstonia solanacearum infestation through two layers of immune system (PTI and ETI). This process involves the production of plant-induced resistance. Strategies for inducing resistance in plants include the formation of tyloses, gels,

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Goji (Lycium barbarum L.) is a widely planted crop in China that is easily infected by the pathogenic fungus Alternaria alternata, which causes rot after harvest. Previous studies showed that carvacrol (CVR) significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Antifungal drug discovery and design is very challenging because of the considerable similarities in genetic features and metabolic pathways between fungi and humans. However, cell wall composition represents a notable point of divergence.
