Expression, Purification, and Biophysical Characterization of a Secreted Anthrax Decoy Fusion Protein in Nicotiana benthamiana. [PDF]
Anthrax toxin receptor-mediated drug development for blocking anthrax toxin action has received much attention in recent decades. In this study, we produced a secreted anthrax decoy fusion protein comprised of a portion of the human capillary ...

Phytophthora nicotianae var. nicotianae on greenhouse tomatoes [PDF]
Stem and root rot symptoms were noticed in two greenhouse farms on tomatoes planted in the 3rd decade of June, 2013. Diseased plants exposed suppressed growth and top wilting due to drastic decrease of water and poor transport of mineral salt. From diseased stem and root parts Phytophthora nicotianae var. nicotianae was isolated.

Evaluation of Crossability between Nicotiana benthamiana and Nicotiana excelsior [PDF]
Wild tobacco species in the Nicotiana section Suaveolentes are promising genetic resources to introduce their disease resistance to cultivated tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum. However, hybrid lethality is observed in hybrid seedlings from crosses between most Suaveolentes species and N. tabacum. In particular, N.

Tomato resistance to Alternaria stem canker: localization in host genotypes and functional expression compared to non-host resistance [PDF]
The Alternaria stem canker resistance locus (Asc-locus), involved in resistance to the fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici and in insensitivity to host-specific toxins (AAL-toxins) produced by the pathogen, was genetically mapped on ...
