Convergence of retrotransposons in oomycetes and plants [PDF]

Mobile DNA, 2017
Retrotransposons comprise a ubiquitous and abundant class of eukaryotic transposable elements. All members of this class rely on reverse transcriptase activity to produce a DNA copy of the element from the RNA template. However, other activities of the retrotransposon-encoded polyprotein may differ between diverse retrotransposons.

Biological effects of oomycetes elicitins [PDF]

Plant Protection Science, 2020
Successful plant defence responses to pathogen challenges are based on fast and specific pathogen recognition and plant reaction mechanisms. Elicitins, proteinaceous elicitors secreted by the Phytophthora and Pythium species, were first described in Phytophthora culture filtrates as proteins able to induce a hypersensitive response (HR) and resistance ...

The lectin receptor kinase LecRK-I.9 is a novel Phytophthora resistance component and a potential host target for a RXLR effector [PDF]

, 2011
In plants, an active defense against biotrophic pathogens is dependent on a functional continuum between the cell wall (CW) and the plasma membrane (PM). It is thus anticipated that proteins maintaining this continuum also function in defense. The legume-

At the frontier; RXLR effectors crossing the Phytophthora -host interface [PDF]

, 2011
Plants are constantly beset by pathogenic organisms. To successfully infect their hosts, plant pathogens secrete effector proteins, many of which are translocated to the inside of the host cell where they manipulate normal physiological processes and ...

Genome analysis of Phytophthora cactorum strains associated with crown- and leather-rot in strawberry

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Phytophthora cactorum has two distinct pathotypes that cause crown rot and leather rot in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). Strains of the crown rot pathotype can infect both the rhizome (crown) and fruit tissues, while strains of the leather rot ...

Calcium Signaling in Oomycetes: An Evolutionary Perspective [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
Oomycetes are a family of eukaryotic microbes that superficially resemble fungi, but which are phylogenetically distinct from them. These organisms cause major global economic losses to agriculture and fisheries, with representative pathogens being Phytophthora infestans, the cause of late potato blight and Saprolegnia diclina, the instigator of ...

A novel method for efficient and abundant production of Phytophthora brassicae zoospores on Brussels sprout leaf discs [PDF]

, 2009
Background Phytophthora species are notorious oomycete pathogens that cause diseases on a wide range of plants. Our understanding how these pathogens are able to infect their host plants will benefit greatly from information obtained from model systems ...

Use of Clotrimazole in Finfish Aquaculture: Mechanistic Insights, Limitations, and Future Directions for Antifungal Therapy

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This review critically evaluates clotrimazole as a potential antifungal for finfish aquaculture, highlighting strong mechanistic and in vitro efficacy against aquatic mycoses alongside major gaps in in vivo evidence, toxicokinetics, residue safety, and environmental risk, outlining priorities for responsible therapeutic development and regulatory ...

OOMYCETES: LAGENIDIUM GIGANTEUM

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2007
Lagenidium giganteum is a facultative parasite of mosquito larvae that initiates infection by production of biflagellate zoospores that selectively recognize and attach to larval cuticle. Following penetration of the cuticle, the parasite proliferates within the host, killing it within 24-60 h.

Deciphering plant–pathogen interaction with single‐cell omics

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Recent advances in single‐cell omics have enabled the decoding of gene regulatory networks at the cellular resolution during pathogen challenge. This review summarizes the technological developments in plant single‐cell omics and highlights their unique advantages for dissecting nearly all stages of plant–pathogen interactions, including initial ...
