Immune responses to airborne fungi and non-invasive airway diseases. [PDF]

, 2014
Inhalation of fungal particles is a ubiquitous way of exposure to microorganisms during human life; however, this exposure may promote or exacerbate respiratory diseases only in particular exposure conditions and human genetic background.

The Emerging Role of Microbial Extracellular Vesicles in Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders are increasingly viewed as systemic conditions shaped by interactions among peripheral immunity, microbiota, and the central nervous system. However, the mechanisms linking microbial activity to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration remain poorly defined.

Calcium signaling in plant defense

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Calcium signaling acts as a central hub in plant immunity, translating pathogen perception into defense responses. This review highlights the channels, sensors, and signaling networks involved, and discusses how pathogens subvert calcium dynamics, as well as how this knowledge may inspire innovative strategies for engineering durable crop resistance ...

Molecular components of PAMP-triggered oxidative burst in plant immunity [PDF]

, 2009
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important molecules that are rapidly generated in response to abiotic and biotic stimuli and which regulate diverse physiological processes such as stomatal aperture and cell death.

Plasmodesmata‐located proteins: The molecular hubs in noncell‐autonomous immunity

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Plasmodesmata serve as critical battlefields for plant immunity, regulated by diverse proteins. This article provides a comprehensive review of the regulatory mechanisms, challenges, and future directions concerning proteins located within plasmodesmata and their roles in plant defense responses.

Bacterial Effector HopF2 Suppresses Arabidopsis Innate Immunity at the Plasma Membrane

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2011
Many bacterial pathogens inject a cocktail of effector proteins into host cells through type III secretion systems. These effectors act in concert to modulate host physiology and immune signaling, thereby promoting pathogenicity.

First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

Signaling of Plant Defense Mediated by Receptor-like Kinases, Receptor-like Cytoplasmic Protein Kinases and MAPKs Triggered by Fungal Chitin in Horticultural Crops

Horticulturae
Fresh horticultural products are economically significant foods that are highly demanded by consumers worldwide; however, they are highly perishable and susceptible to deterioration by fungi, which contribute to their short shelf-life and cause ...

A Walk in the Park: Influence of Natural Co‐Exposure to Grass Pollen and Fungal Spores on Nasal Mycobiome and Cytokine Responses

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Volunteers stayed 3 h indoors and followed 1 h outdoors in a flowering meadow. Nasal mycobiome was analysed and aeroallergen content measured in nasal filters. Airborne fungal spores were quantified and fungal isolates were sequenced. Isolated fungal spores were used for stimulation of nasal epithelial cells.
