Effects of virus infection on release of volatile organic compounds from insect-damaged bean, Phaseolus vulgaris [PDF]
Insects can serve as important vectors of plant pathogens, especially viruses. Insect feeding on plants causes the systemic release of a wide range of plant volatile compounds that can serve as an indirect plant defense by attracting natural enemies of ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Exploring the loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) genome by BAC sequencing and Cot analysis. [PDF]
Loblolly pine (LP; Pinus taeda L.) is an economically and ecologically important tree in the southeastern U.S. To advance understanding of the loblolly pine (LP; Pinus taeda L.) genome, we sequenced and analyzed 100 BAC clones and performed a Cot ...

Regulation of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from Rhizoctonia solani [PDF]
Maximal levels of L-henylalanine ammonia-lyase activity were observed when the mycelial felts of Rhizoctonia solani were grown for 4.5 days on Byrde synthetic medium containing 3.5% glucose and 0.3% L-phenylalanine, Differential centrifugation studies have indicated that the enzyme is localized in the soluble fraction. The time course of induction of L-

The targeted metabolomic profile of laticifers in rubber tree
Targeted metabolomic profiling of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) laticifers identified metabolites that were reprogramming by domestication, revealed active isoprenoid metabolism in the laticifers, and discovered loci with potential biosynthetic applications, supporting the potential of developing laticifers as bioreactors for production of valuable ...

ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]
The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Summary Beneficial rhizobacteria and viral pathogens can both alter host plant phenotypes, yet little is known about how their simultaneous presence influences plant metabolism and species interactions. We investigated how two rhizobacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Delftia acidovorans, together with bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), shape soybean ...

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Poplar miR1447 Is a Negative Regulator of Disease Resistance Through the SA‐Dependent Pathway
ABSTRACT Although microRNA1447 (miR1447) regulates poplar responses to abiotic stress and pest infestation, how miR1447 regulates poplar immunity against pathogens and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Here, we revealed that miR1447 functioned as a negative regulator of poplar disease resistance against fungal and bacterial ...
