Stop helping pathogens: engineering plant susceptibility genes for durable resistance
Alternatives to protect crops against diseases are desperately needed to secure world food production and make agriculture more sustainable. Genetic resistance to pathogens utilized so far is mostly based on single dominant resistance genes that mediate ...

Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) role in plant response to Xanthomonas [PDF]
Xanthomonas is an important plant pathogenic bacteria and cause economic losses in a wide range of crop plants. The type III secretion system as a crucial pathogenicity factor is used to inject effector proteins into the host cell.

Enhancer release and retargeting activates disease-susceptibility genes
The functional engagement between an enhancer and its target promoter ensures precise gene transcription1. Understanding the basis of promoter choice by enhancers has important implications for health and disease. Here we report that functional loss of a

Recent updates on the basic mechanisms and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases in experimental animal models [PDF]
The specific pathogenesis underlining inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is very complicated, and it is further more difficult to clearly explain the pathophysiology of 2 major forms of IBD, Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), and both ...

Susceptibility reversed: modified plant susceptibility genes for resistance to bacteria.
Plants have evolved complex defence mechanisms to avoid invasion of potential pathogens. Despite this, adapted pathogens deploy effector proteins to manipulate host susceptibility (S) genes, rendering plant defences ineffective.

Epigenetics of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea
Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA) is a temporary infertility characterized by the suppression of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis, induced by the inhibition of the hypothalamic pulsatile secretion of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone

Association of the AFF3 gene and IL2/IL21 gene region with juvenile idiopathic arthritis [PDF]
Recent genetic studies have led to identification of numerous loci that are associated with susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. The strategy of using information from these studies has facilitated the identification of novel juvenile idiopathic ...
