Phytophthora Resistance Through Production of a Fungal Protein Elicitor (β-Cryptogein) in Tobacco

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998
Transformation of tobacco with a gene encoding the fungal elicitor protein, β-cryptogein, resulted in resistance to the pathogen Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae.

Isolation and identification of endophytic fungi involved in the promotion of sesquiterpene accumulation in Syringa pinnatifolia

Science of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 2023
. Background. The stem of Syringa pinnatifolia is used as traditional Mongolian medicine for the treatment of cardiopulmonary diseases, in which sesquiterpenes are regarded as the primary medicinal compounds. However, only S.

Parsley protoplasts retain differential responsiveness to u.v. light and fungal elicitor [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 1987
The differential response of cultured parsley cells to u.v. irradiation and elicitor treatment is a paradigm for analysis of specific plant defense responses. We demonstrate that freshly isolated parsley protoplasts, in the absence of detectable cell wall, maintain fully the ability to be activated by these important environmental factors.

Lipid Nanoparticle Co‐Delivery of mRNA and a Small Molecule Drug for Oral Cancer Chemoimmunotherapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Co‐encapsulation of p53 mRNA and the small molecule ciclopirox within a lipid nanoparticle yields an all‐in‐one chemoimmunotherapy for oral squamous cell carcinoma. The platform engages caspase‐driven apoptosis in cancer cells while repolarizing tumor‐associated macrophages, achieving tumor reduction in both p53‐susceptible and p53‐resistant models and

Defence responses of Norway spruce seedlings to elicitors of ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius and pathogen Heterobasidion annosum are affected by zeatin riboside

Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2011
Cytokinins are known to attenuate defence responses of plants after elicitor application or inoculation with fungi. To evaluate their role in the regulation of colonisation of Norway spruce (Picea abies) seedlings with mycorrhizal and pathogenic fungus,

Alternaria as an Inducer of Allergic Sensitization

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Alternaria alternata is a saprophytic mold whose spores are disseminated in warm dry air, the typical weather of the Mediterranean climate region (from 30° to 45°), with a peak during the late summer and early autumn.

Dimerization Controls the Activity of Fungal Elicitors That Trigger Systemic Resistance in Plants [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008
The soilborne fungus Trichoderma virens secretes a small protein (Sm1) that induces local and systemic defenses in plants. This protein belongs to the ceratoplatanin protein family and is mainly present as a monomer in culture filtrates. However, Hypocrea atroviride (the telomorph form of Trichoderma atroviride) secretes an Sm1-homologous protein, Epl1,

Multimodal Imaging Reveals Rapid Catecholamine Uptake and Release by Neutrophils

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We show that immune cells (neutrophils) synthesize, uptake, and store catecholamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine or adrenaline. They also release them in response to specific stimuli (serotonin), which we directly visualize using fluorescent nanosensors. We further demonstrate that catecholamines affect neutrophil functions (NETosis) and platelet

Quantitative ¹H NMR metabolomics reveals extensive metabolic reprogramming of primary and secondary metabolism in elicitor-treated opium poppy cell cultures

BMC Plant Biology, 2008
Background Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) produces a diverse array of bioactive benzylisoquinoline alkaloids and has emerged as a model system to study plant alkaloid metabolism.

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...
