Immunity is a term closely affiliated with the normal being of an organism as it puts across a cascade of physiological facets that contributes affirmatively towards the knocking down of the invaded pathogen. It is a widely known and accepted fact that cells associated with the immune system serve as driving force in eliminating the disease causing ...

Boosting plant immunity with CRISPR/Cas [PDF]
CRISPR/Cas has recently been transferred to plants to make them resistant to geminiviruses, a damaging family of DNA viruses. We discuss the potential and the limitations of this method.See related Research: http://www.genomebiology.com/2015/16/1 ...

Many plant-associated microbes are pathogens that impair plant growth and reproduction. Plants respond to infection using a two-branched innate immune system. The first branch recognizes and responds to molecules common to many classes of microbes, including non-pathogens.

Lysobacter enzymogenes OH11 is a non-flagellated, ubiquitous soil bacterium with broad-spectrum antifungal activities. Although lacking flagella, it employs another type of motile behavior, known as twitching motility that is powered by type IV pilus ...

Diverse yet-uncultivated bacteria and archaea, i.e., microbial dark matter, are present in terrestrial hot spring environments. Numerous metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of these uncultivated prokaryotes by short-read metagenomics have been reported ...

Comparative analysis of de novo genomes reveals dynamic intra-species divergence of NLRs in pepper
Background Peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) containing distinct capsaicinoids are the most widely cultivated spices in the world. However, extreme genomic diversity among species represents an obstacle to breeding pepper.

Nuclear processes associated with plant immunity and pathogen susceptibility [PDF]
Plants are sessile organisms that have evolved exquisite and sophisticated mechanisms to adapt to their biotic and abiotic environment. Plants deploy receptors and vast signalling networks to detect, transmit and respond to a given biotic threat by ...

Membrane-triggered plant immunity [PDF]
Plants have evolved sophisticated defense mechanisms to resist pathogen invasion. Upon the pathogen recognition, the host plants activate a variety of signal transduction pathways, and one of representative defense responses is systemic acquired resistance (SAR) that provides strong immunity against secondary infections in systemic tissues ...
