Evaluating rice for salinity using pot-culture provides a systematic tolerance assessment at the seedling stage

Rice, 2019
Background Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the major staple food crops consumed globally. However, rice production is severely affected by high salinity levels, particularly at the seedling stage. A good solution would be the development of an efficient

Identification of Soybean Germplasm and Associated Molecular Markers with Resistance to Fusarium graminearum

Agronomy, 2023
Soybean ranks second by total production of all crops grown in the United States. From surveys of soybean production regions in the US and Canada, seedling diseases have been consistently identified as one of the top five biotic limitations on yield for ...

RNA interference screening reveals host CaMK4 as a regulator of cryptococcal uptake and pathogenesis [PDF]

, 2017
Cryptococcus neoformans , the causative agent of cryptococcosis, is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that kills over 200,000 individuals annually. This yeast may grow freely in body fluids, but it also flourishes within host cells.

A Conserved Carboxylesterase Inhibits Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) Accumulation in Nicotiana benthamiana Plants

Viruses, 2020
A carboxylesterase (CXE) or carboxylic-ester hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes carboxylic ester and water into alcohol and carboxylate. In plants, CXEs have been implicated in defense, development, and secondary metabolism.

Genetic Characterization of the Partial Disease Resistance of Rice to Bacterial Panicle Blight and Sheath Blight by Combined QTL Linkage and QTL-seq Analyses

Plants, 2023
Bacterial panicle blight (BPB) and sheath blight (SB) are major diseases of rice and few cultivars have shown a high level of resistance to these diseases. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population developed from the U.S.

Differential Regulation of Maize and Sorghum Orthologs in Response to the Fungal Pathogen Exserohilum turcicum

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Pathogens that infect more than one host offer an opportunity to study how resistance mechanisms have evolved across different species. Exserohilum turcicum infects both maize and sorghum and the isolates are host-specific, offering a unique system to ...

The role of effectors in nonhost resistance to filamentous plant pathogens [PDF]

, 2014
In nature, most plants are resistant to a wide range of phytopathogens. However, mechanisms contributing to this so-called nonhost resistance (NHR) are poorly understood.

The Enterococcus Cassette Chromosome, a Genomic Variation Enabler in Enterococci

mSphere, 2018
Enterococcus faecium has a highly variable genome prone to recombination and horizontal gene transfer. Here, we have identified a novel genetic island with an insertion locus and mobilization genes similar to those of staphylococcus cassette chromosome ...

Is there selection by quantitative resistances in the banana fungal pathogen Mycosphaerella fijiensis? [PDF]

, 2015
Plant pathogenic fungi are able to erode quantitative host resistance through changes in aggressiveness, thereby threatening the durability of host resistance.
