Transgenic resistance to PMTV and PVA provides novel insights to viral long-distance movement [PDF]
, 2005 The studies in this thesis describe forms of transgenic resistance to plant viruses and how they can be used for studying viral infection cycle. S. tuberosum cv.

Selection of miRNA reference genes for plant defence studies in rice (Oryza sativa)
, 2019 RT-qPCR is a widely used method to investigate the expression levels of genes under certain conditions. A key step, however, to have reliable results is the normalization of expression.

Poplar miR1447 Is a Negative Regulator of Disease Resistance Through the SA‐Dependent Pathway
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.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 ...

The JAK-STAT pathway promotes persistent viral infection by activating apoptosis in insect vectors.
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 The Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway that can regulate various biological processes.

Germin and germin-like proteins: evolution, structure, and function [PDF]
, 2008 Germin and germin-like proteins (GLPs) are encoded by a family of genes found in all plants. They are part of the cupin superfamily of biochemically diverse proteins, a superfamily that has a conserved tertiary structure, though with limited similarity ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Drought stress is a major abiotic factor that severely affects plant growth and food production. Identifying drought‐resistant genes and their regulatory mechanisms is essential for mitigating the negative impacts of drought on plants. In this study, we identified a natural single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation in SlWRKY16 that is ...

A wheat caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase TaCOMT-3D positively contributes to both resistance to sharp eyespot disease and stem mechanical strength [PDF]
, 2018 Plant caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase (COMT) has been implicated in the lignin biosynthetic pathway through catalyzing the multi-step methylation reactions of hydroxylated monomeric lignin precursors.

Selective modification of rice (Oryza sativa) gene expression by rice stripe virus infection
Journal of General Virology, 2009 Rice stripe disease, caused by rice stripe virus (RSV), is one of the major virus diseases in east Asia. Rice plants infected with RSV usually show symptoms such as chlorosis, weakness, necrosis in newly emerged leaves and stunting. To reveal rice cellular systems influenced by RSV infection, temporal changes in the transcriptome of RSV-infected plants

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, poses a significant threat to global wheat production. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of plant growth, development and stress responses; however, their role in wheat resistance to leaf rust remains poorly understood.
