Purification and characterization of elicitor protein from Phytophthora colocasiae and basic resistance in Colocasia esculenta

open access: yesMicrobiological Research, 2009
An elicitor was identified in the fungus Phytophthora colocasiae. The molecular weight of the purified elicitor was estimated by means of gel filtration chromatography and SDS-PAGE and was estimated as 15kDa. Protease treatment severely reduced its activity, allowing the conclusion that the elicitor is proteinaceous.

Tannia Starch: Structural and Functional Characterization

open access: yesStarch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 1, January 2026.
Physicochemical characterization of crude and purified tannia starch revealed increased amylose content, higher pasting viscosity, and preserved A‐type crystallinity in the purified form. The findings highlight tannia starch as a promising functional ingredient for thermally processed foods and biodegradable material applications.
