A RACK1 family protein regulates pathogenicity of Peronophythora litchii by acting as a scaffold for MAPK signal modules [PDF]
Litchi downy blight caused by Peronophythora litchii is the most destructive disease of litchi (Litchi chinensis). RACK1 (Receptor for activated C kinase 1) is a group of scaffold proteins, mainly involved in the regulation of various signaling pathways ...

Genome Sequence Data of Peronophythora litchii, an Oomycete Pathogen Causing Litchi Downy Blight
Peronophythora litchii is an oomycete pathogen that exclusively infects litchi, with infection stages affecting a broad range of tissues. In this study, we obtained a near chromosome-level genome assembly of P.

Autophagy-related protein PlATG2 regulates the vegetative growth, sporangial cleavage, autophagosome formation, and pathogenicity of peronophythora litchii [PDF]
Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process that is important for the development and pathogenicity of phytopathogenic fungi and for the defence response of plants.

Physiological and biochemical changes in imported litchi fruit [PDF]
It is important to determine the appropriate conditions for maintaining postharvest quality of litchi fruit after arrival from overseas markets. The present study, therefore, aimed to detail the effects of different storage conditions on physiological ...
