Psyllid Cysteine Cathepsins Directly Cleave the Outer Membrane Protein BamD of Citrus Huanglongbing Pathogen

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the causative agent of citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), is transmitted by Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri; however, the role of the insect's immune effectors in defending against CLas remains poorly understood. This study reveals that D.

Statistical properties of thermodynamically predicted RNA secondary structures in viral genomes

, 2008
By performing a comprehensive study on 1832 segments of 1212 complete genomes of viruses, we show that in viral genomes the hairpin structures of thermodynamically predicted RNA secondary structures are more abundant than expected under a simple random ...

The Rice Cis‐Natural Antisense Transcript NAT1850 of Pri‐miR1850 Negatively Regulates Cold Tolerance by Repressing NPR3

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) correspond to nearly 60% of annotated rice loci, however their functions are largely unknown. In this study, we characterise a rice cis‐NAT (NAT1850) that completely overlaps with a rice‐specific primary miRNA, pri‐miR1850.

Methionine Synthase Positively Regulates Plant Defence to Both RNA and DNA Viruses and Is Useful for Developing Broad‐Spectrum Antiviral Resistance in Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant viruses frequently cause severe economic losses in worldwide crop production. Developing broad‐spectrum resistance is the most efficient approach for controlling plant viral diseases. In this work, we found that the 17K protein of barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDVs), which has multiple functions in viral pathogenesis including acting as ...

Characterization of dsRNA binding proteins through solubility analysis identifies ZNF385A as a dsRNA homeostasis regulator

Nature Communications
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding proteins (dsRBPs) play crucial roles in various cellular processes, especially in the innate immune response. Comprehensive characterization of dsRBPs is essential to understand the intricate mechanisms for dsRNA sensing and response.

Functional Characterisation of HAIRPLUS (NtHAP) Genes Involved in Trichome Development and Specialised Metabolism of Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant glandular trichomes are specialised epidermal structures capable of synthesising, storing and secreting numerous varieties of secondary metabolites in different classes and are central to plant defence and the biosynthesis of high‐value metabolites.

Eukaryotic translation initiation machinery can operate in a prokaryotic-like mode without eIF2 [PDF]

, 2008
Unlike prokaryotes, a specialized eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2), in the form of the ternary complex eIF2*GTP*Met-tRNAiMet is utilized to deliver the initiator tRNA to the ribosome within all eukaryotic cells1.

Protocol for identifying Dicer as dsRNA binding and cleaving reagent in response to transfected dsRNA

STAR Protocols
Mammalian Dicer has been proved to be functional on double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) and involved in antiviral immunity or immune regulation. Here, we present a protocol for identifying Dicer as a dsRNA binding and cleaving factor to transfected dsRNA in cell lines, based on small RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and dsRNA-immunoprecipitation (dsRNA-IP).

Effects of Elevated CO2 on Bean Pod Mottle Virus Infection in Both Incompatible and Compatible Interactions With Phaseolus vulgaris L

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant viruses cause significant crop losses, a situation that could worsen due to anthropogenic activities driving global climate change, one factor of which is the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration. This study assessed the impact of elevated CO2 concentration (eCO2, 1000 vs. 400 ppm) on two genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris
