Effects of the Tobacco Defensin NaD1 Against Susceptible and Resistant Strains of Candida albicans [PDF]
PathogensToday, Candida albicans is still the most common cause of both local and life-threatening systemic candidiasis. The spread of resistant fungal strains has resulted in an urgent need to search for new promising antimycotics.

The plant mitochondrial mat-r gene/nad1 gene complex [PDF]
, 1996 We have completed sequencing segments of the maize mitochondrial (mt) DNA that contains all five of the exons (A-E) of the gene (nad1) for subunit I of the respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase. Analysis of these sequences indicates that exons B and C are joined by a continuous group II intron, but the remaining exons are associated with partial group ...

Ptychographic imaging of NaD1 induced yeast cell death [PDF]
Biomedical Optics Express, 2019 Characterising and understanding the mechanisms involved in cell death are especially important to combating threats to human health, particularly for the study of antimicrobial peptides and their effectiveness against pathogenic fungi. However, imaging these processes often relies on the use of synthetic molecules which bind to specific cellular ...

The Plant Defensin NaD1 Enters the Cytoplasm of Candida albicans via Endocytosis [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2018 Antimicrobial peptides are widespread in nature and are produced by many organisms as a first line of defence against pathogens. These peptides have a broad range of biological activities, such as antibacterial or antifungal activities and act with varied mechanisms of action.

Global scenario of genetic diversity in cox1 and nad1 genes of Moniezia expansa
Parasite Epidemiology and ControlMonieziasis is a parasite-borne production-limiting disease of livestock. Moniezia expansa is the most important species having cosmopolitan distribution. Despite of numerous prevalence reports, very little information is available about the evolutionary

A phylogeny of members of the family Taeniidae based on the mitochondrial cox1 and nad1 gene data [PDF]
Parasitology, 2008 SUMMARYThe cestode family Taeniidae consists of 2 genera, Taenia and Echinococcus, which both have been the focus of intensive taxonomic and epidemiological studies because of their zoonotic importance. However, a comprehensive molecular phylogeny of this family has yet to be reconstructed.

Field resistance to Fusarium oxysporum and Verticillium dahliae in transgenic cotton expressing the plant defensin NaD1 [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2014 The plant defensin NaD1, from Nicotiana alata, has potent antifungal activity against a range of filamentous fungi including the two important cotton pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) and Verticillium dahliae. Transgenic cotton plants expressing NaD1 were produced and plants from three events were selected for further ...

Characterization of variability of the gene Nad1 intron in representatives of genus Vicia L. (Fabaceae Lindl.) [PDF]
Ecological genetics, 2011 For the first time the sequences of b/c intron of mitochondrial gene Nad1 have been determined in representatives of 13 Vicia species. It is shown that the sequences of the intron of the gene in these species is highly conservative. In total 23 variable sites and 11 indels have been determined with the intron length 1421–1447 b. p.

Contiguous RNA editing sites in the mitochondrial nad1 transcript of Arabidopsis thaliana are recognized by different proteins [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2013 Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins have been identified as site‐specific factors for RNA editing in plant organelles. These proteins recognize cis‐elements near the editing site. It is unclear how contiguous sites are addressed, and whether one or two factors are required.
