Npr1-regulated gene pathways contributing to cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2007
Abstract The natriuretic peptides, atrial (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are known to suppress cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. Both ANP and BNP exert their bioactivities through the Npr1 receptor, and Npr1 knockout mice (Npr1−/−) exhibit marked cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis.

Light‐induced phyB‐NPR1 interaction activates systemic acquired resistance

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Model showing phyB‐mediated fine‐tuning of defence responses via NPR1. Summary Light perception by phytochromes controls different aspects of plant–environment interactions including plant immunity; however, the underpinning molecular mechanisms are less well‐understood.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Phylogenetic and expression analysis of the NPR1-like gene family from Persea americana (Mill.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
The NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES1 (NPR1) forms an integral part of the salicylic acid (SA) pathway in plants and is involved in cross-talk between the SA and jasmonic acid/ethylene (JA/ET) pathways.

NPR1 protein regulates pathogenic and symbiotic interactions between Rhizobium and legumes and non-legumes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Legumes are unique in their ability to establish symbiotic interaction with rhizobacteria from Rhizobium genus, which provide them with available nitrogen.

Sugars as Central Integrators of Plant Immunity and Stress Responses

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugars are fundamental metabolites that sustain plant growth and development, but accumulating evidence demonstrates that they also function as regulatory hubs in plant defence. In this review, we synthesise current knowledge on how carbohydrate dynamics coordinate metabolism, signalling, and structural responses to shape plant resistance ...

Salicylic acid signal transduction: the initiation of biosynthesis, perception and transcriptional reprogramming

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) is a small phenolic compound that regulates diverse physiological processes, in particular plant resistance against pathogens. Understanding SA-mediated signaling has been a major focus of plant research.

Molecular Links Between Heat Stress and DNA Damage Response in Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a major threat to agricultural productivity and, consequently, to global food security. Among the consequences of climate change, heat stress (HS) has emerged as a critical factor limiting crop performance. This has stimulated extensive research over the past decade to elucidate the molecular and physiological mechanisms ...

Verticillium dahliae CFEM Effector VdCR Stabilises the Susceptibility Factor GhAGP31 to Suppress Host Vascular Immunity and Promote Cotton Verticillium Wilt

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant pathogenic fungi secrete a wide array of effector proteins to manipulate host immunity, including those containing CFEM (Common in Fungal Extracellular Membranes) domains. Here, we identified a CFEM domain‐containing effector VdCR from Verticillium dahliae, the causal agent of cotton Verticillium wilt.

Genetic Variants Associated with Hypertension Risk: Progress and Implications

Pulse
Background: Genetic variants causing diseases with hypertension as a secondary feature have previously been identified. Studies focussing on primary hypertension have utilised common and latterly rare genetic variants in attempts to elucidate the genetic
