Unprincipled Principals in the Accountability Chain: Autonomy and Political Control Within Tax Administration in a Developing Country Context

Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT SDG 16 emphasizes the need for accountable institutions, often based on the assumption that public officials are accountable to politicians, who in turn are accountable to citizens. However, in many developing countries, neopatrimonial governance can weaken this accountability chain, as politicians themselves may act as “unprincipled ...

The anti-Phytophthora effect of selected potato-associated Pseudomonas strains: from the laboratory to the field

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Late blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, is the most devastating disease of potato. In organic farming, late Late blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, is the most devastating disease of potato.

Coniferyl aldehyde from the phenylpropanoid pathway targets pyruvate kinase in Dactylobotrys graminicola to confer sheath rot resistance in hulless barley

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

Control of Potato Late Blight by Cyazofamid

Journal of Pesticide Science, 2005
To evaluate the efficacy of the novel fungicide cyazofamid against potato late blight, 5 field tests were carried out in 1998-2000. Cyazofamid provided excellent control of late blight in the field. In preventative scheduled application tests, the efficacy of cyazofamid at dose rates of 67 and 100 μg active ingredient (a.i.)/ml with 10-day and 14-day ...

The ZmRACK1–ZmCDPK7–ZmAPX1 module regulates plant antiviral immunity

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In maize, ZmRACK1 acts as a scaffold protein that bridges the cyclin‐dependent kinase ZmCDPK7 and the ascorbate peroxidase ZmAPX1, promoting ZmAPX1 activity to mitigate MCMV infection. Upon viral infection, P31 obstructs formation of the ZmRACK1‐ZmCDPK7‐ZmAPX1 complex, inhibiting ZmCDPK7‐mediated ZmAPX1 activity and promoting reactive oxygen species ...

CP32, a novel anti‐oomycete cyclic peptide, interferes with cell‐wall deposition in Phytophthora infestans

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The small cyclic peptide CP32 effectively inhibits Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato and tomato late blight. Combined biochemical and phenotypic analyses demonstrate that CP32 disrupts cell wall biosynthesis, a key process in pathogen infection, resulting in a marked reduction of disease symptoms in plants.
