Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely used as gene silencing agents and therapeutics for treatment due to their high transfection efficiency and lack of cytotoxicity, but their roles in gene silencing in plants have not yet been reported.

Salicylic acid receptors activate jasmonic acid signalling through a non-canonical pathway to promote effector-triggered immunity. [PDF]
It is an apparent conundrum how plants evolved effector-triggered immunity (ETI), involving programmed cell death (PCD), as a major defence mechanism against biotrophic pathogens, because ETI-associated PCD could leave them vulnerable to necrotrophic ...

NPR1: the spider in the web of induced resistance signaling pathways [PDF]
The plant hormones salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET) are major players in the regulation of signaling networks that are involved in induced defense responses against pathogens and insects. During the past two years, significant progress has been made in understanding the function of NON-EXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES1 (

NPR1 is a critical component of the salicylic acid (SA)-mediated signal transduction pathway leading to the induction of defense genes, such as the pathogenesis-related (PR)-1 gene, and enhanced disease resistance.

The Synthetic Elicitor 3,5-Dichloroanthranilic Acid InducesNPR1-Dependent andNPR1-Independent Mechanisms of Disease Resistance in Arabidopsis [PDF]
AbstractImmune responses of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) are at least partially mediated by coordinated transcriptional up-regulation of plant defense genes, such as the Late/sustained Up-regulation in Response to Hyaloperonospora parasitica (LURP) cluster.

Research Progress of ATGs Involved in Plant Immunity and NPR1 Metabolism [PDF]
Autophagy is an important pathway of degrading excess and abnormal proteins and organelles through their engulfment into autophagosomes that subsequently fuse with the vacuole. Autophagy-related genes (ATGs) are essential for the formation of autophagosomes.

HOS15 is a transcriptional corepressor of NPR1-mediated gene activation of plant immunity [PDF]
Significance Immune responses protect organisms against biotic challenges but can also produce deleterious effects, such as inflammation and necrosis. This growth-defense trade-off necessitates fine control of immune responses, including the activation of defense gene expression. The transcriptional coactivator NPR1 is a key regulatory hub of

The zinc cluster proteins Upc2 and Ecm22 promote filamentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by sterol biosynthesis-dependent and -independent pathways. [PDF]
The transition between a unicellular yeast form to multicellular filaments is crucial for budding yeast foraging and the pathogenesis of many fungal pathogens such as Candida albicans.

Effects of elevated [CO2 ] on maize defence against mycotoxigenic Fusarium verticillioides. [PDF]
Maize is by quantity the most important C4 cereal crop; however, future climate changes are expected to increase maize susceptibility to mycotoxigenic fungal pathogens and reduce productivity. While rising atmospheric [CO2 ] is a driving force behind the
