Gene induction during plant-microbe interactions : the role of chitinases during fungal infection and the investigation of mycorrhiza-induced genes in the model plant "M. truncatula" [PDF]
, 2007 In this thesis, the model legume Medicago truncatula was used for research on plant-microbe interactions. Unlike most other plants, legumes are able to form two distinct root symbioses. Together with soil-borne fungi of the Glomeromycota, they form the

Constitutive expression of a grapevine polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein affects gene expression and cell wall properties in uninfected tobacco [PDF]
, 2011 Background Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) directly limit the effective ingress of fungal pathogens by inhibiting cell wall-degrading endopolygalacturonases (ePGs).

Rhythmic diel pattern of gene expression in juvenile maize leaf. [PDF]
, 2011 Co-expressed genes belonging to individual clusters are likely to be regulated by common mechanisms. The nocturnal phase of the diurnal cycle involves gross induction of fundamental biochemical processes and should be studied more thoroughly than was ...

Fungal dimorphism regulated gene expression in Ustilago maydis : I. Filament up‐regulated genes
Molecular Plant Pathology, 2004 SUMMARY Ustilago maydis displays dimorphic growth alternating between a budding haploid and a filamentous dikaryon formed by mating of two haploid cells. This morphological switch plays a critical role in pathogenicity because only the filamentous dikaryon can infect maize.

The WOPR family protein Ryp1 is a key regulator of gene expression, development, and virulence in the thermally dimorphic fungal pathogen Coccidioides posadasii [PDF]
PLOS Pathogens, 2021 Abstract Coccidioides spp. are mammalian fungal pathogens endemic to the southwestern US and other desert regions of Mexico, central and South America, with the bulk of US infections occurring in California and Arizona.

Tetracycline aptamer-controlled regulation of pre-mRNA splicing in yeast [PDF]
, 2007 Splicing of pre-mRNA is a critical step in mRNA maturation and disturbances cause several genetic disorders. We apply the synthetic tetracycline (tc)-binding riboswitch to establish a gene expression system for conditional tc-dependent control of pre ...
