Insect-induced daidzein, formononetin and their conjugates in soybean leaves. [PDF]

, 2014
In response to attack by bacterial pathogens, soybean (Gylcine max) leaves accumulate isoflavone aglucones, isoflavone glucosides, and glyceollins. In contrast to pathogens, the dynamics of related insect-inducible metabolites in soybean leaves remain ...

Do interactions between plant roots and the rhizosphere affect parasitoid behaviour? [PDF]

, 2004
Multitrophic interactions are powerful forces shaping the structure of living communities. Plants encounter a great diversity of organisms in their environment: some of these interactions are beneficial (e.g. symbiotic fungi and insect pollinators) while

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 Arabidopsis NADPH oxidases RbohD and RbohF display differential expression patterns and contributions during plant immunity [PDF]

, 2016
Plant NADPH oxidases, also known as respiratory burst oxidase homologues (RBOHs), produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that perform a wide range of functions.

Whole fungal elicitors boost paclitaxel biosynthesis induction in Corylus avellana cell culture

PLOS ONE, 2020
Paclitaxel is an effective natural-source chemotherapeutic agent commonly applied to treat a vast range of cancers. In vitro Corylus avellana culture has been reported as a promising and inexpensive system for paclitaxel production. Fungal elicitors have been made known as the most efficient strategy for the biosynthesis induction of secondary ...

Chitosanase may enhance anti-fungal defense responses in transgenic tobacco [PDF]

, 2003
Chitosanase is an enzyme, similar to chitinase, capable of hydrolyzing the β-1,4-linkages between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-glucosamine residues in partially acetylated chitosan polymers found in fungal cell walls.

Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

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,
