Controlled incubation, leachate, and pot assays of shrimp shell‐based compost for suppressing Verticillium dahliae in olive

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Shrimp shell compost suppresses Verticillium dahliae microsclerotia, enhances chitinase activity, lowers olive wilt severity and improves plant recovery under controlled conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND Verticillium wilt of olive (Olea europaea L.), caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb., is difficult to manage because long‐lived microsclerotia persist in

Colletotrichum higginsianum extracellular LysM proteins play dual roles in appressorial function and suppression of chitin-triggered plant immunity [PDF]

, 2016
The genome of the hemibiotrophic anthracnose fungus, Colletotrichum higginsianum, encodes a large repertoire of candidate-secreted effectors containing LysM domains, but the role of such proteins in the pathogenicity of any Colletotrichum species is ...

Sustainable and Programmable Hydrogels for Bone Regeneration: A Perspective on Green Synthesis and Precision Fabrication

SusMat, EarlyView.
The clinical translation of natural hydrogels is often hindered by a fundamental conflict. Green synthesis prioritizes biosafety through mild and non‐toxic conditions, whereas precision manufacturing demands mechanical robustness and structural fidelity.

A structural and biochemical model of processive chitin synthesis [PDF]

, 2014
Chitin synthases (CHS) produce chitin, an essential component of the fungal cell wall. The molecular mechanism of processive chitin synthesis is not understood, limiting the discovery of new inhibitors of this enzyme class.

The soybean plasma membrane GmDR1 protein conferring broad-spectrum disease and pest resistance regulates several receptor kinases and NLR proteins

Scientific Reports
Overexpression of Glycine max disease resistant 1 (GmDR1) exhibits broad-spectrum resistance against Fusarium virguliforme, Heterodera glycines (soybean cyst nematode), Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (spider mites), and Aphis glycines Matsumura (soybean ...

The fight of innate immunity and abnormal cannabinoids against Candida infection

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Candida species represent the most clinically significant fungal pathogens in humans, with invasive candidiasis carrying a mortality of 30%–40% in critically ill patients despite modern antifungal therapy. The innate immune system – through the coordinated and specific activities of neutrophils, macrophages, NK cells, mast cells and eosinophils ...

LysM protein BdLM1 of Botryosphaeria dothidea plays an important role in full virulence and inhibits plant immunity by binding chitin and protecting hyphae from hydrolysis

Frontiers in Plant Science
Botryosphaeria dothidea infects hundreds of woody plants and causes a severe economic loss to apple production. In this study, we characterized BdLM1, a protein from B. dothidea that contains one LysM domain.

Immunomodulation of Host Chitinase 3-Like 1 During a Mammary Pathogenic Escherichia coli Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Chitin is a N-acetyl-d-glucosamine biopolymer that can be recognized by chitin-binding proteins. Although mammals lack chitin synthase, they induce proteins responsible for detecting chitin in response to bacterial infections.

Epigenetic and Metabolic Changes That Drive Trained Immunity in Response to Microbes and Vaccines

Immunology, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how microbial products, vaccines and microbial metabolites activate pattern‐recognition receptor signalling, inducing metabolic rewiring and epigenetic remodelling. These changes establish long‐lasting trained immunity through the functional reprogramming of haematopoietic progenitors and innate immune cells, thereby

Disruption of OsMAPKKK24 activation by the Xanthomonas oryzae effector XopY leads to compromised disease resistance in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The kinase OsRLCK55 phosphorylates OsMAPKKK24 to positively regulate rice resistance against Xanthomonas oryzae. To compromise this defense, the effector XopY targets OsMAPKKK24 and suppresses its autophosphorylation and the transphosphorylation mediated by OsRLCK55, ultimately leading to reduced disease resistance.
