The rhizosphere: a playground and battlefield for soilborne pathogens and beneficial microorganisms [PDF]
, 2009 The rhizosphere is a hot spot of microbial interactions as exudates released by plant roots are a main food source for microorganisms and a driving force of their population density and activities.

Management of plant health risks associated with processing of plant-based wastes: A review [PDF]
, 2009 The rise in international trade of plants and plant products has increased the risk of introduction and spread of plant pathogens and pests. In addition, new risks are arising from the implementation of more environmentally friendly methods of ...

Sterol biosynthesis in oomycete pathogens [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2010 Oomycetes are a diverse group of filamentous eukaryotic microbes comprising devastating animal and plant pathogens. They share many characteristics with fungi, including polarized hyphal extension and production of spores, but phylogenetics studies have clearly placed oomycetes outside the fungal kingdom, in the kingdom Stramenopila which also includes

Strategies for administration of biosurfactants-producing pseudomonads in closed hydroponic systems [PDF]
, 2011 Zoospore-producing oomycetes are major plant pathogens of particular concern in hydroponic systems. Compared with pesticides, biocontrol using antagonistic microorganisms is a sustainable approach to control oomycetes.

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.

Establishing the precise evolutionary history of a gene improves prediction of disease-causing missense mutations [PDF]
, 2016 PURPOSE: Predicting the phenotypic effects of mutations has become an important application in clinical genetic diagnostics. Computational tools evaluate the behavior of the variant over evolutionary time and assume that variations seen during the course

Platforms for High-Throughput Screening and Force Measurements on Fungi and Oomycetes
Micromachines, 2021 Pathogenic fungi and oomycetes give rise to a significant number of animal and plant diseases. While the spread of these pathogenic microorganisms is increasing globally, emerging resistance to antifungal drugs is making associated diseases more ...
