Nature Communications, 2021 Crh proteins catalyze crosslinking of chitin and glucan polymers in fungal cell walls. Here, Bi et al. show that a Crh protein from the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea acts as a cytoplasmic effector and elicitor of plant defense, and plants ...

Lithium alters elicitor-induced H2O2 production in cultured plant cells
Biologia Plantarum, 2013 Lithium pollution may seriously influence the metabolic and signalling processes of plants. In the present paper, we investigate the effect of lithium chloride on fungal elicitor-triggered H2O2 generation in Rubia tinctorum L. cell cultures.

Novel cellulose-binding-domain protein in Phytophthora is cell wall localized. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Cellulose binding domains (CBD) in the carbohydrate binding module family 1 (CBM1) are structurally conserved regions generally linked to catalytic regions of cellulolytic enzymes.

A Microbial Fermentation Mixture Primes for Resistance Against Powdery Mildew in Wheat
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Since many fungal pathogens develop resistance to fungicides, novel and low-cost alternative methods to improve plant health and fitness need to be developed. An approach to improve productivity in crops is to stimulate the plant’s own defence mechanisms

Plants, 2022 Pinosylvin stilbenes are natural phenolic compounds found in the Pinaceae family and act as phytoalexins. Some pinosylvin stilbenes have strong nematicidal activity against pine wood nematodes (PWNs: Bursaphelenchus xylophilus).

Fatty acids bind to the fungal elicitor cryptogein and compete with sterols [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2001 Cryptogein is a proteinaceous elicitor of plant defense reactions which also exhibits sterol carrier properties. In this study, we report that this protein binds fatty acids. The stoichiometry of the fatty acid–cryptogein complex is 1:1. Linoleic acid and dehydroergosterol compete for the same site, but elicitin affinity is 27 times lower for fatty ...

The Enzymatic Activity of Fungal Xylanase Is Not Necessary for Its Elicitor Activity [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1999 AbstractFungal xylanases fromTrichoderma spp. are potent elicitors of defense responses in various plants. To determine whether enzymatic activity is necessary for elicitor activity, we used site-directed mutagenesis to reduce the catalytic activity of xylanase II from Trichoderma reesei.

Evaluation of the elicitor properties of ergosterol obtained from residual brewing yeast [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesSustainable agriculture requires solutions that combine cost-effectiveness and environmental safety. One of such approach is the use of biological pesticides for plant protection, which reduce dependence on synthetic chemicals, minimize environmental ...

Transcriptional activation of plant defense genes by fungal elicitor, wounding, and infection. [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Biology, 1987 Activation of plant defense genes was investigated by analysis of transcripts completed in vitro by isolated nuclei. Elicitor treatment of suspension-cultured bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cells caused marked transient stimulation of transcription of genes encoding apoproteins of cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGP) and the phenylpropanoid

Identification of Rice Blast Fungal Elicitor-Responsive Genes by Differential Display Analysis
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2000 In order to study molecular interactions that occur between rice and rice blast fungus upon infection, we isolated fungal elicitor-responsive genes from rice (Oryza sa-tiva cv.
