Identification of functional cis-regulatory elements by sequential enrichment from a randomized synthetic DNA library [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: The identification of endogenous cis-regulatory DNA elements (CREs) responsive to endogenous and environmental cues is important for studying gene regulation and for biotechnological applications but is labor and time intensive. Alternatively,

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).

A Fungal Elicitor of the Resistance Response in Wheat
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1985 Abstract An elicitor of the lignification response in wheat leaves was isolated from the germ-tube walls of wheat stem rust. The active compound causes metabolic changes typically correlated with the resistance response, i.e. the formation of lignin or lignin-like polymers in affected epidermal and mesophyll cells and the increased ...

A Receptor on Soybean Membranes for a Fungal Elicitor of Phytoalexin Accumulation [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1983 Soybean membrane preparations specifically bound [(14)C]mycolaminaran, a branched beta-1,3-glucan produced by Phytophthora sp. which elicits production of the phytoalexin glyceollin in soybean tissues. A Scatchard plot of the binding data disclosed the presence of a single affinity class of binding sites with a K(d) value of 11.5 micromolar for the ...

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

Structure-activity relationships of synthetic analogs of jasmonic acid and coronatine on induction of benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid accumulation in Eschscholzia californica cell cultures [PDF]
, 2000 A facile test system based on the accumulation of benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids in Eschscholzia californica cell suspension culture (an indicator of defense gene activation) has been used to analyze a series of synthetic compounds for elicitor-like ...

Chitinase cDNA Cloning and mRNA Induction by Fungal Elicitor, Wounding, and Infection [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1988 Chitinase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of beta-1,4 N-acetylglucosamine linkages of the fungal cell wall polymer chitin, is a component of the inducible defenses of plants. We show that chitinase synthesis is stimulated in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cell suspension cultures treated with fungal cell wall elicitors and in hypocotyls in response to ...
