The Role of Potassium Phosphite in Enhancing the Activity of Defense Enzymes in Rice Infected by Sheath Blight [PDF]
Extended Abstract Background: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) serves as the primary food source for over half of the world's population. The disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani has significantly impeded rice production, resulting in substantial economic losses ...

Modes of action of non-pathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum in controlling Fusarium wilts
Many studies have demonstrated the capacity of non-pathogenic strains of F. oxysporum to control Fusarium diseases.These non-pathogenic strains show several modes of action contributing to their biocontrol capacity.

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA
The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

Induced Systemic Resistance by Beneficial Microbes
Beneficial microbes in the microbiome of plant roots improve plant health. Induced systemic resistance (ISR) emerged as an important mechanism by which selected plant growth–promoting bacteria and fungi in the rhizosphere prime the whole plant body for enhanced defense against a broad range of pathogens and insect herbivores.

Infection of one leaf of a plant with virulent or avirulent pathogens that cause localized necrotic lesions often results in physiological and biochemical changes in the plant that enhance the resistance of the plant to further infection.

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

Tradeoffs associated with constitutive and induced plant resistance against herbivory [PDF]
Several prominent hypotheses have been posed to explain the immense variability among plant species in defense against herbivores. A major concept in the evolutionary ecology of plant defenses is that tradeoffs of defense strategies are likely to ...

Tissue location of resistance in apple to the rosy apple aphid established by electrical penetration graphs [PDF]
A study of the constitutive resistance of the apple cultivar Florina, Malus domestica Borkh. (Rosaceae), to the rosy apple aphid, Dysaphis plantaginea (Passerini) (Homoptera Aphididae), was performed for the first time by the electrical penetration graph
